I know that it’s typically prescribed first because of the minimum side effects compared to other classes of APs but I’m really questioning this constant intense hunger side effect. I’m starving constantly and even after I eat a big meal the satiety wears off pretty quickly, within an hour or two it seems. If I listened to my belly right now I’d probably gain tons of weight on this med from eating constant meals.
There are side effects I can and can’t tolerate. Being constantly hungry is one I don’t know if I will be able to tolerate much longer. Anyone have any good med suggestions that didn’t give them constant starvation? If it makes you sleepy that’s great too because I’m looking for a replacement for my benzo at night.
If it makes you that uncomfortable then you probably have good cause for changing meds. I don’t have any med suggestions so I will just bump your thread.
I would say that if the side effects are hitting you hard, switch to something else. I don’t get the hunger side effect and mine have been going down in general. You react differently to it and should probably contact the pdoc.
P.S. I would probably switch if I were in your shoes.
I’m on Invega and it’s supposed to be weight neutral. I gained some weight on it, but I wasn’t careful. Like 3kg in a year, not much. The only downside it’s the prolactin levels, but overall it’s a good med.
No idea but the rest weren’t the complex they were in micrograms which confused me lol. These pills are huge!! Geez! Pray that I don’t choke taking them hahaha
