Blue_Bird, I don't like the term "psychotic" either. I am on an anti-psychotic (AP) though and it has helped reel in my manic thoughts & actions. Usually they up it if I get more manic, but more than the dose I'm on, I am so sleepy. My AP (Seroquel) is known for weight gain, but did not affect me that way, probably because I run nearly every day. But I have to take the normal release version. I tried extended release and wanted to sleep & eat all day, though it was not as bad as Remeron for excessive eating.
