Welcome @sarahzx and thanks for the tag, Justin. I was on Seroqeul to treat paranoid schizophrenia for 16 years and gained weight with my last med increase to 750 mgs. My doctor recently put me on Ziprasidone then we switched to Lurasidone. I am on Lurasidone now which has no weight gain associated. I have actually lost weight. Most of the atypical antipsychotics are used for bipolar too, including these, but for info, ask your doctor. You will probably notice some slight side effects with the Ziprasidone and Lurasidone but the somnolence and depressive state can't touch Seroquel. Aripriprazole is another one that doesn't cause weight gain but I noticed agitation in the beginning and something weird with my vision that I can't even describe. Good luck
