Since starting paliperidone, I’ve been eating and gaining for the past month. It gets worse everyday.
Today, I binged at lunch time. I’m so disgusted that I couldn’t overcome the urge on that drug.
It didn’t do that to me years ago when I took it before.
I can’t wait to be done weaning off of it over the next week. I’m going back on Haldol, which is what I took while losing 100 pounds (45kg). I need to lose this weight asap.
How are you doing with the reduction of alcohol
@LilyoftheValley ?
I’m completely sober. I have been for a couple weeks now @Wave
You being sober could also be a contributing factor to the binge eating
Yay! 
This is Awesome news!
I wouldn’t worry about your weight right now your body is undergoing some changes from being sober.
Ive been really hungry ever since i quit drinking. I only eat twice a day. But im starving by dinner. I try not to eat to much cause i gain weight really easily. Ive been stuck at 195lbs. I was 210. Lost 15 and stayed the same since.
Yeah binging and weight gain are the drawbacks of that drug. Unfortunately it works the best for me on the voices so I have to take it.
when i switched from olanzapine to paliperidone i lost 60 lbs. appetite was greatly reduced. it increased over time but never as bad as on olanzapine. i wasnt a light eater on it by any means but i had more self control with food compared to now back on olanzapine where i get cravings for greasy high fat and carbs fast food. and eat like a competitive eater
It’s not because I want to be funny I mean every word I say but I really do think that big girls are beautifully.
