They make me feel tired I think. A little zombiefied but not necessarily physically unhealthy.
They make me feel tired and dull. They also take away my creativity.
My meds make me feel lethargic, they make me constipated, they make me always feel dehydrated
My meds make me constipated and dehydrated. They give me akathisia and destroy my creativity.
Im more healthy on meds than off meds. Im insane off meds.
The question was physical health. Not mental. I agree, I’m insane off of meds, but on meds I don’t feel very good physically
Also, I apologize if my reply sounded rude, that was not my intention if it came across that way
Its fine, its not rude. My physical health is a bit better off meds but mental health is more important to me.
Yea I am overweight…
weight gain on AP’s
I am as well. I wish it weren’t so difficult to lose weight on these meds
Yea it is a marathon challenge… I’m still working on it but this morning I was questioning myself if I ever can lose the weight.
I think it’s okay for people to settle for what makes them feel comfortable
They do.
I find dopamine agonists make me feel better, physically, when combined with exercise.
🚶‍♂️
The weight gain makes me feel and look unhealthy.
Also, the tired feeling or sedation isn’t a healthy behavior.
Olanzapine made me insanely physically unhealthy. My weight was 240lbs, it gave be diabetes, my blood sugar was sky high with A1C’s around 8 and 9, my cholesterol and triglycerides were out of control. It was a horrible mediation for me physically.
I switched to Lurasidone. Lost all that weight, my cholesterol and triglycerides are normal and my blood sugar is now at pre-diabetes levels. I’m doing much better physically.
Ya, I’m 280 lbs almost and eat crap every day. Thinking about quitting them today because I think I got DID now…
My health is already â– â– â– â– just the way it is lol.
I am at 295 now with aristada. It is def caused by aristada. It doesn’t seem to be working either…but I tried an adderall to see if it would help me feel normal and it made me manic and Im still hearing voices a day later…I dont mind not having to remember to take a pill all the time. I am on too many medications rn but instinctively I think I do need to slowly taper off Aristada gain…
Its doing what it did to me before. Its too strong…mostly the weight gain is the worst of it…
My meds makes most thing better and some things worse. The better things is. Inability to get drunk. Better sleep. Act calmer. Psychosis free 90 % of the time.
The things they make worse.
I am some days so lazy that I don’t exercise. some sexual dysfunction lately. A little bit constipated. The first 6 years on seroquel I gained 2 stones that I lost the last 2 years.
