This is definitely a question that you should ask you prescribing doctor. He/she went to school for many years in order to diagnose and help you. Taking the word of other fellow sufferers will not help you since this illness is so nonspecific. Good question, see your doc and good luck.

I am not sure I took Risperdal and Seroquel and they are both pretty bad on weight gain but seroquel makes you feel awful. maybe you could try Geodon or Albify. Some of them are deadly and worse than the typical ones.
Sorry I guess I did not read the whole thing to answer your question, maybe try some of the older (Typical) ones they say they are worse but I am and sure many others think atypical is worse or equal. Doctors are not always the most helpful but if I were you i would do some research and look around on the net and on search engines. So check around GOOD LUCK!!!

Well Kevin I think all meds. have some kind of side effects. I take risperdal & zyprexa &zoloft But i also take meds. for extream vertigo. the side effects of my meds. have me in diapers because I can't tell when i am peeing so I have to wear diapers 24/7 To me that is a BAD side effect their are some worse I guess but this oue is bad enufe I think. As you can see some side effects are worse on others that take the same thing. I am not conplaining because if i don't talk the pills then i am in a lot worse shape

I have a relative, who "has" to be on anti-psychotics. One time she was in the hospital, for 6 months, and I got to speak to the Dr. one day. He said,"The object, is to find the right combination of medicines to have the right side effects, to stabalize her."
So, they all have side effects!

psst!
if you're concerned about medication side effects, talk to your doctor! no one in this forum will be able toprovide an adequate answer to you!
on top of that.. you should know that it's possible the meds that have fewer side effects may also be ineffective on you.

Haldol (Haloperidol) has the least side effects
