I am on amisulpride 200mg …
My weight is 102 kg or 225 pounds.
I have been trying to lose weight but since 2 months it’s the same weight…
Did any of you ever manage to lose 15 kg or 35 -40 pounds… while being on Anti-Psychotics ?
Inspire me through your stories…
My weight is 124.
In my experience, it’s tough.
I was on 10mg Olanzapine and the doc reduced me to 5mg. I had all this extra energy and lost 20kg in 5 months.
Unfortunately I had to change meds and I put it back on plus some 
.
Yes . Apple cider vinegar and raw honey before bed , oats eggs potato bread for breakfast, lean meat green leafy vegetables, fruit, low sugar , healthy oils , fat burner supplements, lower med dose will help. Eat out only twice a week .
I lost 30 kg from 107 kg to 78 kg while on the max dose of Invega. Now I’m up 5 kg at 83 kg, but still pretty happy with my weight.
My trick was to replace my lunch with a protein shake and to walk or bike every day.
Good luck! You can do this.
I am on generic prolixin, fluphenazine. I lost all my extra weight on this med, but I did it by diet alone for five years…
When I switched from zyprexa to loxapine I lost 20 lbs. I really really tried to lose more but was never able. I stayed that weight for 10 years with an effort. I’m back on zyprexa, now 10 mg, and I weigh 260 lbs although I rarely get very hungry, I just started eating a lot of chocolate, kids cereal, cookies and ice cream. The zyprexa I take now is called Lybalvi and has an added medicine for weight loss. I would suggest it, I really don’t get hungry much, it’s just the sweets.
Walking can help regardless of medicine and cutting down soda. That’s what helps me lose or manage weight on invega and now abilify
It depends on which one you are on. Unfortunately the majority of meds cause weight gain but there are a few like abilify and latuda that don’t.
I’m on amisulpride too (500mg) but I don’t know if the belly fat I’ve gained is aging (I’m nearly in my forties) or meds
Latuda made me gain weight.
Off medication I’ve never had a weight problem.
Was naturally petite.
I exercise daily and eat little and healthy but am overweight.
Since when are you using amisulpride ?
I have gone from around 70kg’s to 100kg’s maybe 3 or 4 times since being on APs
The best weight I was was when I was doing manual labour
Pretty much given up trying to lose now, as it’s utterly pointless when it piles back on whenever you stop what it was that was keeping it down
What meds are you on ?
Well I lost 30 kg’s before on Latuda, 30kg’s I lost on Haloperidol, 30kg’s lost on Amisulpride and right now I am on 4.5mg Vraylar, 5mg Olanzapine plus pregabalin and diazepam
I’ve lost as much as 60 lbs. calorie counting with MyFitnessPal.com. I’ve recently lost 4.8 lbs. in the last week and a half this way. It works!
Since nine years ago in 2013
I lost 100 pounds (45kg) in one year while on Haldol. I exercised 5 days per week and ate only 1200 calories per day. I counted, measured and weighed everything and kept it logged on MyFitnessPal
Recently, I was on Invega and in a very short time I gained 35 pounds. I’m now back on haldol
Geodon kills my appetite so it’s easy to lose weight on it.
I neglected to say (above), that I lost that 60 lbs. while on three antipsychotics: Risperdal Consta shot, Geodon and Seroquel. I also exercised 5 days a week, 30 - 35 min. a day in the form of yoga.
I’m very far from saying that losing weight on AP meds is easy. I am, in fact, convinced that it is very nigh impossible for too many people. I lost weight once. I’m not so sure I could do it again on these meds. But, I’m trying.
