Is their a non weight gain medication as effective as seroquelzyprexa or risperidole for people with paranoid schizophrenia to try?
Abilify seems to be effective at treating schizophrenia, and weight gain is not as common with Abilify as it is with many other antipsychotics.
Is there a medicine for schizophrenia that doesn't promote weight gain?
Abilify and Geodon are the two most weight-neutral antipsychotics. Seroquel and Risperdal, while not as weight-neutral as Abilify and Geodon, are less of a problem than some other medications.

My only response to this is that a friend of mine was taken off Olanzapine (Zyprexa) and put on Abilify in order to stop their weight gain.
Has anyone experienced weight gain on Abilify?
Oh my god. I'm a whale. Don't take it. It's such a bad idea.
Is there anything similar to abilify?
Yes...Zyprexa (Olanzapine). The bigest problem with it is weight gain. --------------- It depends on what you are taking it for. Abilify is prescribed for schizophrenia, bipolar mania, and recently it has been marketed for depression. From experience I do not think the feeling produced is in any way similar to zyprexa. Abilify is a partial D2 agonist and zyprexa is a potent D2 antagonist. From experience abilify = no appetite and akathisia zyprexa= sedation weight gain I have been told that the new antipsychotic saphris is very similar to abilify. It looks promising but there is a very high rate of extrapyramidal symptoms (about 20%)
