Do you know if antipsychotics actually slow down our metabolism

My CPN did not know and I forgot to ask my pdoc.
Did your pdoc tell you so or do you have any writing on it

It’s obvious. I eat the same, and I gain weight

some did/some didn’t. The typicals really didn’t for me. atypicals, yes but after a while you can train your metabolism to work a lil better

The patient information sheet that came with my Zyprexa said atypical antipsychotics can cause metabolic syndrome, so that would mean the answer is yes.
