I didn't gain on geodon, but it had no effect on my, unlike the other AAPs, which worked within days. Stelazine and other, older neuroleptics do nto usually cause weight gain. I currently take trilafon (perphenazine) and it doesn't impact my weight at all. But you have to watch for extra-pyramidal side effects - tics and jerks -- some of which can be permanent (called tardive dyskenesia). This is much less likely to happen at low doses though. Higher doses used for psychosis can have these very devastating side effects.
