I gained 30lbs on Zyprexa then 15 more on vraylar.
Since I started rexulti I have lost 15lbs.

My first ap was seroquel. The doc put me on 900mg and I went from 220lbs to 430lbs in two years.

How is rexulti working for you?
I love it.

Rexulti is the best ap I’ve tried.

I tend to wake up early (5am) and go to bed early (8pm), but I don’t really mind.

Same here I usually am in be old around 9 and wake up at 6 or 7.
I feel healthier on a schedule like that.
The only reason I’m still up is because I’m wired from work.

It’s ok everyone made fun of me when I was that heavy.
I weigh 275 now. I was stable at around 230 for many years till I tried Zyprexa.
I’m trying to get back down to 230 again.
It’s a slow process trying to lose weight.

When I had surgery I could only e as t liquid food for about a year.
So I lost weight very quickly.

I try to eat good food and smaller portions.
Now that I’m working again I find I eat less.

I cycle a few times a week, I can ride about 15 miles in an hour.
I also joined a gym so I can lift again.
It is hard to find motivation to exercise.

Gained 100lbs with clozapine and lithium. I’m getting off of lithium over 6 weeks.
My lack of mobility makes it difficult to lose the weight. I want to lose about 8 lbs a month.

I gained weight because I was young and ignorant.
I had no idea about the potential for weight gain, nor the knowledge of how to beat the cravings with healthy food.
