I was really skinny for 29 years of my life until I started Risperidone. Now my BMI says I am over weight.

My nickname in primary school was Twigs. I put on a little weight in my mid 20’s, but nothing serious. Then I met Olanzapine and put on 8kg in two weeks. I ballooned from 82kg to 98kg and beyond. :sweat_smile:

As a kid I was so skinny I could count all of my ribs.

When I got to a healthier weight in middle school my mom started to worry about me getting fat.

Now I’m very overweight and I hate myself for it.

I was a runt and got treated as such

All the cool kids into sports and stuff used to bully me really badly.

There was no way I could hold my own, but I tried my best to fight back

To be honest I am happier being an adult as my childhood was very traumatic looking back.

My family stuck by me though, and we got through it and have great relationships with each other now.

Previously in this thread I said I was bullied too. I wasn’t any good at fighting too, and got beat up all the time.

I was skinny until nine or so, then became skinny again from my early teens through my early twenties, now I’m overweight again but am pretty happy with myself. A fairly recent switch to Geodon has been helping me shed pounds but I’m working to not lose weight too quickly.

I was thin most of the time. I did get a bit chubby at one phase of my kid hood though. No I think that was during my teenage years actually.

I was skinny as a rail until I got diagnosed and put on olanzapine, then gained like crazy. Lost all of it when Celexa was added then when took of the ad I gained all and more back. Now on olanzapine and sertraline but no loss, maybe slow gain. Curious to see what happens if I ever get taken off sertraline (ad).

I was muscular and strong as a kid. Not anymore, but I’m working out and dieting so maybe that’ll change

I was overweight. I realised it later when I have gone to middle school. As a young kid I had normal weight. I got obese in like two years and weighted 96 Kg as a twelve year old. With 14 I started skateboarding and got under 80 Kg in lesser than a year.

I always was slim and sportive. Until Zyprexa i fit in a size 34 (4 in USA i think), maybe after childbirth 36/6, whereas in my country people are usually larger. People used to think i was French (they are skinnier there, on average).

Now, no more. :cry:
