Taking hits of weed brings me closer to God

Hello everyone,
I 'm opening this thread because I feel that I need support about my weight. Ever since on meds, firstly antidepressants and then antipsychotic and antianxiety ones, I am loosing and gaining weight all the time. Most of the time I am overweight, as a matter of fact obese, only with small breaks that I have an almost ordinary weight, perhaps a little more. The truth is, I am tired with diets, I bought a book about “Harcombe” diet, and it is a very easy diet to follow, like Atkins, but in the third phase which is for the rest of my life, it suggests not eating sugar and processed carbs, which I am not able to follow, I am keen on sweets. When I was a teenager I had a normal weight, and some more time after that, I tried antidepressants and had gaining weight as an effect. Now I am on Risperdone 7mg (apart from the others) and I know that this is causing me to have big appetite. When I had reduced it, in 3mg a day, I lost about 60 pounds and I almost had a normal weight, but then, I regained most of this, after increasing meds. I don’t know what to do, if I reduce again my pills I will end up getting hospitalized, but if I don’t, I 'm going to take back all the weight again and perhaps some more. Anyway, I don’t want to get you tired by seeking advice for me, I am just trying to say that to get them off from inside me, and also to get some support, as much as you can do. I know there are more severe problems than that, but I think I loose most of my life being on a diet and then getting “fat”.

I KNOW YOUR FRUSTRATION, I’VE BEEN ON 2MG RISPERIDONE FOR SOME TIME AND FEEL IT HELPS WITH VOICES BUT WT. GAIN IS A PROBLEM. INCREASED EXERCISE (WALKING THE DOG,CYCLING AND CHORES) AND DIETARY RESTRICTIONS IS ABOUT ALL I CAN DO ABOUT IT ( I TOO LOVE CHOCOLATE) BUT MY DOCTOR IS CONCERNED ABOUT MY WEIGHT SO I’LL KEEP TRYING TO EXERCISE. SINCE I KEEP GETTING THE BE MORE DESCRIPTIVE PROMPT I’LL ADD LOWER LEG PROBLEMS, EMPHYSEMA AND LOWER BACK PAIN ADDITIONALLY COMPLICATE MATTERS, AT 54 YEARS OF AGE I CAN ONLY REITERATE SMOKING THESE 20 YEARS HASN’T LEFT ME WELL POSITIONED FOR ANYTHING,
