i think it should say weight gain associated with antipsychotic medications, my weight was fine even after psychosis until i started taking meds
Interestingly, the use of antipsychotic medication was not associated with longitudinal differences in the course of weight gain, nor was the type or availability of antipsychotics,” said Strassnig.
i didnt see that but i still think it has something to do with meds because i dont think people with psychotic disorders go 20 years without meds
So, weight gain because of aps is dismissed but no other explanation was supplied. It is proven that aps can cause weight gain, increase appetite and slow metabolism, but yet apparently there is no correlation between weight gain for szs and aps. Doesn’t make much sense to me.
Alpha Lipoic Acid @ 600mg 1/day is supposed to control weight gain. You could search for studies to confirm.
(cough) Zyprexa (cough)
