Been taking Aripiprazole 2mg for a week now, and while my body still feels sick like a common cold, I am doing some motio

I can’t go on another medication because the other meds make you gain weight and I am already overweight. I am on a combination of aripiprazole and sertraline for my bipolar and ocd. It is hell.

However, all of these medications have caused severe weight gain. I am looking for an antipsychotic that is pretty neutral or one that coul
