I could feed a family of cannibals for years now if they caught me.
When i got on the weigh scale it said “to be continued”.
Id like to blame the meds but honestly ive been eating too much junk food. Ive been on risperidone injections for 3 months aswell. Spooky. Went from 186 to 236, unless the scale lied. Still tho, i need to make some changes in my life style.
I have gained more than 20kgs on antipsychotics.
The weird thing about it is i didnt even notice. I just went from a men 34 waist to a 36. Im 6foot1 aswell so it hides at least lol.
It happened gradually.
I didn’t even notice
Its definitely the medication, you need to get with your pdoc and find an alternative which doesn’t increase your weight. It will take time so get started soon.
Do you do a lot of snacking between meals?
I would not say that. Not for years anyhow, and not cannibals.
I realized without medication i got my hunger/appetite better in control as with medication. The downside is i turn into an angry hulk. I done a lot of angermanagement and meditation. When i would stop smoking herbs i wouldn’t have the munchies so badly anymore as my medication is reduced.
I gained 150lb from meds and still increasing but slightly now.
You now in lose lose situation turn it in win win situation don’t gain more but stop it and start to lose even little by little
I was 135 before medication, now I’m almost 300 pounds, so I can definitely relate. And this all happened in nine months. But, thankfully, I’m losing weight now with being put on Vraylar.

I gained about that much as well but very slowly losing a bit
This particular medication… I’ve been on twice and I know that I’ve been told by my doctors that it takes six months where you’re really really hungry after that you are able to lose the weight you gain during that first six months this happened to me once the second time it happened retrying another med and another med et cetera
Seriously… The second time it didn’t come off again but I also had a psychosis in between with trying another differentw wrong med risperidone is an Excellent drug I completely recommend it
Not in the case of respiridone
It only increases appetite for a limited time, then that hunger will not be an issue any more and you can lose the weight
Atypical meds always gained weight typical do the same did. Not much. Hope you lose some weight I know how it goes hugs.
