Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
All psychotics except aripiprazole have some side effects. Better to try a drug that could control psychotic symptoms. To control weight, you can try diet control, exercise or some medication like topiramate. Better to consult your psychiatrist for further management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
