I did some more research on this topic and found out that the weight gain from invega might be caused by the medicines increasement of the hormone ‘prolactine’ in the body which is a female hormone needed to produce breastmilk. this prolactine is not only used for breastfeeding but has a strong effect on the metabolism of fat and makes it less effective than a person with low - normal prolactin levels. so the weight gain some people experience is due to not only being anhedonic but also because of a weaker metabolism. cant wait to finally have the invega out of my body so i can enjoy a normal life again and not have a hormone level that of a breastfeeding woman.
