I had a scale victory this morning. I’ve lost 2 lbs! I had recently gained 8 lbs from a combo of new meds and doses.

I am still waiting to hear from the pdoc about this water retention. I wake up every morning and my fingers are so swollen I can barely move them and my belly feels weird. Luckily its not in my legs like it had been in the past on a different med.

I’m going to ask him for a referral to a dietitian or nutritionist. My next appointment isn’t for a few weeks, so I should hear back from the pdoc or nurse next week.

I plan to just keep pushing myself to drink water and limit the alcohol.

Yup. It’s been tough to be aware of what I’m eating and tracking that I exercise. When I was on clozapine I couldn’t eat fast enough. The pdoc never told me that weight gain could happen and be so drastic.
