I am on an antipsychotic and I’ve gained a lot of weight. I eat right and exercise and I don’t smoke. I don’t know what else I can do to lose weight but nothing is working. I am so upset
@@TheJaeSevenLife Hi there! I'm too on antipsychotics and I know the problem of gaining weight. There are three things that might help you: 1. Change to an antipsychotic drug with less weight gain. I use Perphenazine which is a typical antipsychotic. 2. Some people may get help from the diabetic drug Metformin or the natural supplement called Berberine. It might be worth a try. 3. Intermittent fasting. This is what helped me lose weight. There are a lot of articles on this. There are many different types: 5:2, 16:8, 20:4, Omad. Find out what type that works for you. Good luck and God bless!
I use antupsychotics on low doses just to sleep. I am on quetiapine and even with metformin I gain weight (and my diet is completely controlled by a nutritionist). I am looking for a change since they don´t want to prescribe me a z-drug to sleep.
If your a 5’1” woman with the same circumstances as a 5’9” woman someone will miss out on getting the correct help????? This is also why I am not a good test taker 😂I always have too many other questions
Does Gary C live in a part of America where he can safely walk in his neighbourhood? Does Gary C work a double shift that brings him home at midnight? How much does Gary C make? How much can Gary C spend on food...what's his budget? Does Gary C live in a "food desert". Blaming the victim will not help...anti-psychotic medications damage the bodies of Schizophrenics and curtail their life expectancy!

Same here. I feel like I even eat less than before and still work out too. I don't know what to do :(
Same 😢

Keto is your only hope.
Sertraline
Doctors need to have their patients work with dietitians and up with exercise plans , from day one to prevent weight gain .
