Yes treat it as a challenge
Try to go for chicken and turkey and get a steamer for vegetables
Cut the sugar cravings with fruit
You will need to cut out the larger @san_pedro you said you were drinking 12 pints the other day, thats like over 3000 calories. Iām in the same boat needing to lose weight iām just over 15 stone. My mam was just today showing me pictures of when I was slim and I look so much better in myself, I need to lose this weight.
I heard that Latuda and Geodon are weight neutral. Maybe add Topamax and Wellbutrin to your mix? My doctor did that to me before.
Article on Latuda: http://mentalhealthdaily.com/2015/02/01/latuda-unlikely-to-cause-weight-gain-considered-weight-neutral/
Iām noticing crazy appetite on Latuda 
maybe because I wasq on Geodon, I see such a huge difference but I need intense exercise asap
I lost a lot of weight on Latuda but the side effects of mood swings forced me to go off of it. Now Iām back on Invega along with loxitane but the cravings and weight gain have been terrible.
I donāt gain on invega but I donāt sit and I run every day.
Ooooh you lost weight on Latuda?! i donāt know whatās happening to me!!! 
Clozapine has caused me to gain weight.
Iām on olanzapine and I donāt have any weight gain
Different drugs have different effects on different people. When I first was ill I read āThe Quiet Roomā by Ms. Schiffer and expected clozaril to be a drug people lost weight on. I havenāt taken it but Iāve read since that most people gain weight on it. I donāt wish to experience the mood swings again as they blindsided me but I would love to have the mental control over my diet again as that was nice.
yeah I donāt know. Iām struggling with Latuda and appetite right now. doing my best not to gain weight.
i never make major changes in my meds w/out going into the hospital. way too dangerous for me.
abilify (but made me painfully manic), haldol, and clozeril (which i have now been taking for over 14 years and find it VERY helpful)
my current pdoc seems to think itās latuda and haldol that may not cause any weight gain. The bad thing about latuda is my pdoc told me to take it at night but you have to eat 350 calories and i gained some weight. But i lost it after starting to take latuda in the evening after dinner.
Risperadal made me gain a lot of weight but latuda hasnāt made me gain weight I have actually lost some weight on it
Hi
None of you seem as big as me. I am 5ā1" in 14 st 10.5 ils. I put on weight though not changing my diet on Risperdal, Amisulpride and invega. I swear invega just made the weight pile on though not eating any more. I got an excercise bike but havenāt used it much yetā¦canāt get up the motivation. Haldol seems mostly weight neutral.
Hippo
Ya Haldol seems to best for not gaining weight. Then Latuda or Geodon.
IM sticking too my guns no change 4me to dicey for me,zyprexa is me
It could just be going off Geodon that made your appetite stronger. When I started taking Geodon I lost fifteen pounds in a month, and my grocery bill got cut in half. I just never eat except when I need to take my pill. I just donāt want to anymore.
