Hello everyone. Due to the medicine I’m on (risperidal), I never get full. Always hungry. My doc gave me metformin and it worked for awhile but then it stopped working. Do any of you know of any other medicine that could help fight off the hunger i constantly feel?
My pdoc recommended Prozac it is also an antidepressants though

I’m always hungry due to meds so I try and fill up on fruits and veg.

I am not aware of any such med at this time. I face the issue of over-eating all the time. I try to discipline myself. I am about 20 pounds overweight and have been for a few years. I need a little bit of fillers with each meal, like potatoes, noodles, bread, or rice. I need slightly increased portions. I need 3 meals a day. I snack a little on crackers, nuts, or cookies. I try to eat fruits but haven’t had much success with them. I do eat vegetables with dinner.
There is no easy solution. Truly, we must constantly “fight off hunger” and not necessarily with drugs.

I am constantly hungry!
I’m never satisfied.
It never ends.
My doctor reduced the Depakote a bit but it’s not helping.
I’m still always hungry.
I’m having a really hard time dieting.
I really don’t know what to do.

Belviq or Alli. Effects reported are minimal to moderate at best for control of appetite and weight loss in obese patients.
While this option is not for everyone, almost every patient desiring weight solutions of some sort, can benefit from Dextroamphetamine.
For myself, I take Concerta (108 mg) and Ritalin (10 mg) with good results.

I don’t know of a medicine but i do know there are a lot of low calorie snacks to snack on. you could do a search and buy some of your favorite low calorie snacks and enjoy them, the healthier nurteints they have the better.

Try drinking a lot of water. It’ll make you feel full. Also stay away from trigger foods. They’re foods that make you keep eating. Like for me if I eat chocolate I eat it all and then raid the fridge. Good luck

I found a natural solution to dealing with the hunger: apple cider vinegar! I tried some and it helps suppress appetite! Make sure you get the one with the “mother”.
What do you mean by “mother”?
From what I understand, it’s the beneficial part of the apple cider vinegar. It’ll say on the bottle whether it has it.

Do you take it straight?
Or dilute it with water?
Dilute it with water. If you type in “apple cider vinegar for weight loss” on YouTube, you’ll find a ton of information. Make sure you use a straw also, otherwise it can mess up your teeth.

I think it’s the cloudy part that settles at the bottom of the bottle

I knew that cider vinegar helped with weight loss but didn’t know that it surpresses appetite.
Going to try it as I’m desperate!
Thanks for the info @LionDen.
