I appreciate that you shared your experience with me, and I'll look into Metformin. Like you, I experienced a lot of weight gain on antipsychotics (between that and the intense fatigue, I decided they're not the right medication for me). Thanks again for your advice.

The second however: You need healthy kidneys and liver and you need to confirm that they are healthy every couple of weeks. It does not work for everyone but if it works, its pretty awesome. Many people i spoke to have lost considerable weight on Metformin.
