I gained a hundred pounds on clozapine. Lost most of it by now. Starting to go up again on Abilify I have to diet pretty aggressively to lose weight or maintain

You won’t gain weight if you control your calories regardless of meds. I used to blame all my weight gain on meds until I tried dieting limiting calories, first time I lasted two weeks, then 3 months and now its been almost a year I am dieting, don’t give up, keep trying.

I use MyFinessPal and my weight stays the same, but I need to lose weight. Sometimes I get an upset stomach and I can’t eat, but it passes.

Since losing my job 2 days ago I’ve been binge eating again. It’s so much bad food. My morbidly obese friend eats less food than me. It’s impulse control issue on aripiprazole
