I take invega and Lexapro and I am hungry all the time. It is really depressing.

I gained 20kg on Abilify. Doctors tends to say it’s weight neutral but you need to ignore it and switch meds. After I switched to other meds I stopped binge-eating and lost over 10kg without much effort.

I gained weight on risperidone, abilify, invega. I lost weight with fanapt but that was due to an extreme reaction. And I’m losing weight on Latuda and haldol

I gained 60 lbs. in 120 days on olanzapine. I craved sugar and I slept a lot. I haven’t had that problem with Geodon. Geodon controls my symptoms too.

I only gained like 20 lbs on abilify, but gained over 100 lbs/48 kgs on saphris. That ■■■■ was the worst.

i read on webmd and the Harvard medical school website that according to a study eating lots of fiber causes weight loss as good as the american heart association’s diet which is about five pounds in eight weeks. so far I’ve lost six pounds in about eight weeks just by drinking two tablespoons of generic corn dextrin fiber powder mixed with water in the morning which is the daily recomended maximum.
