I completely cleaned up my diet. No junk food, no processed food, no pre-made meals. I walk at least 5,000 steps every day no matter what, trying for over 10,000. I follow the Mediterranean Diet which is okay for both weight loss and heart health. I use therapy techniques to manage stress. Lower stress means fewer symptoms. Fewer symptoms means a lower dose of APs and less appetite from them.

I’m currently on appetite suppressing meds, but my weight is approaching the point where I will be taken off them. They are for obese people and I am a few pounds away from no longer being obese.

I’m on 2 mg rexulti too, and I have noticed an increase in appetite. Craving sweets. I gotta get the sweets out of the house.

It was Saxenda - daily injection - at the outset. Now I’m on Wegovy - weekly injection.

I took brexpiprazole for a bit. Couldnt stay awake. I slept like 15 hours a day on that for some reason. Apparently that is uncommon though. And when i was actualy awake i was extremely tired.

Celebrities would be dropping like flies by now if the stuff was as dangerous as claimed. You can ignore the doomsaying.
