No longer gaining weight

Medications
1

I take only 3 drugs

clozapine 200mg
paroxetine cr 37.5mg
clobazam 15mg

I no longer crave sugar and my appetite has reduced so much that I can do fasting. I wake up only once middle of the night to eat. I used to wake up 3 times per night. My hypothesis is that paroxetine or clobazam are reducing my appetite. And my benzo(clobazam) is helping me sleep better and without any interruptions in sleep.

It took years and years for me to find a combo that worked too. For me they just didn’t have the advancements in medication technology to help me yet.

I had a good combo, stopped me from gaining. But I Just stopped on of my aps a couple of days ago and my appetite has gone way down and I’ve already lost a couple of pounds. I’m getting my hopes up for more weight loss.
