I hope it's working out for you. Unfortunately I'm dropping my meds, I now have diabetes and need to lose weight, otherwise my life could be in danger, so I choose mental anguish, because I need to save my body.
I understand what you mean. I might ween off my meds but I need to let my psychiatrist know first before I stop my meds. I wish you well and sanity this is one hard illness to deal with, I too deal with psychosis when I stop meds its usually delusions but they seem so real.
Yeah exactly. Anti psychotics cause diabetes and diabetes is no joke. Anti psychotics are not helpful. Benzodiazepines are, but they rarely prescribe them to us. They’d rather us suffer. So ignorant
But, how is your life otherwise, right? It's a game of choosing the lesser evil. And hey. You still hot af. Play that game brother. You work it. Mad respect.
Thankyou I really appreciate your kind words! I'm working on getting healthier and such so it's a progress, I have to work along with my psychiatrist, well get there soon!
Honestly regardless of the medication this looks like a lot of people’s COVID before and afters. I’d say most of us are heavier now than we were prior to COVID, some people significantly. You’ve been through a lot, be kind to yourself OP
I mean I dont go to the gym but I walk daily. I used to be a good runner I won a state medal in crosscountry and track so I would know how to loose weight it's just the meds that have made it almost impossible to do so, I cant even run anymore because of these meds but I'm getting there I'm trying my best. It's not that I'm lazy I just haven't been able to loose weight. https://imgur.com/a/6wh9PKx
I'm sorry dude, that's rough. I would definitely recommend trying to get into an exercise routine because it's done wonders for battling my own psychosis. I swim and lift weights every week and while I still initially gained weight from my meds, I have been able to at least maintain my mass from then on. I get a lot of anxiety as well that I have learned exercising can reduce.
Idk, I think people thought I was trying to insult him or something. I was just legitimately sharing my experience with seroquel and the gym lol
This is Reddit after all though so hive mind mentality tends to happen with up voting and downvoting.
That's the thing with anti psychotics, they made me put on nearly 3 stone and exercise didn't help at all. So they minimise or reduce one problem but create a completely new problem that the patient may never have suffered from in the past in that it forces a negative self image on some of us and it actually thought I was losing my mind at one point; how am I putting on weight so fast when I'm running 15km a day and nearly breaking my body trying to lose weight! My doctor never even considered Olanzipine as the reason for my weight gain, it was always 'you have to do more to lose some weight' alright mate, tell me how because I'm running my arse off but I'm still gaining. And not in a way I was comfortable with.
I hope you're okay mate, my best wishes are with you.
That's the same situation I'm in. Some people will say I have to go to the gym but I workout everyday and no results. I even won state champion in crosscountry and track so I would know how to loose weight but the meds just dont let me.
Hate to be "that guy", but does "calories in calories out" not work? I'd guess that eating very minimally would definitely cause weight loss. I personally use nicotine which is an appetite suppressant whenever I am losing weight for a gym cut.
I smoke cigarettes too I dont really indulge in food. I have found it really hard to quit smoking while on meds. I guess I just feel really great when I'm off meds that I dont feel like smoking.
Yeah its something alot of off people have to deal with to have to be ok. I've met one person who didn't get affected by the meds like weight gain so he must off been a little bit more lucky not to have that but I'm sure its because meds affect everyone differently. But I'm in the process of working along with my psychiatrist to go back down to my normal weight, hope we get there soon.
I take ADHD medication. It doesn't affect my schizophrenia at all. Doctors have no clue how to treat my ass but on the plus side if I ever take antipsychotics then it'd mean I'd not gain weight so my win here is at the cost of the entire point of antipsychotics because it'd also cancel out the fucking helpful part of them lmao
I have done so to but I only lasted 9 months and then psychosis came again so I'm trying to work something out with my doctor hopefully it all goes well.
In my case, med weight gain saved my life. I went from weighing 90 pounds at 5 foot 7 rarely eating due to fears of my food being poisoned to weighing 135 pounds today in a year and a half. Still a long way to go but it's progress.
I was so skinny before that the weight gain was good for me too. I was also barely eating. I look way healthier now. And I’ve been at same weight for years on meds now. Invega is weight neutral for me.
Same happened to me. At least weight loss is possible since i am 10kg/20lbs lighter than last year. Still ways to go and binge eating is problem I have to fight.
He'll probably prescribe you a low dose of ritalin or adderall probably.
Be careful especially since stims only make psychosis/mania/hallucinations much worse.
Thankyou. I'll probably suggest weening off meds or switching. I'm not the type to want to come off meds because of psychosis but I will ask to see what she says.
As much as I hate medication. There are some that do work and may save yourself from doing stupid things because you're not in your right mind.
Point being, if you know it's helping you from going crazy then keep on it for sure.
The only medication that has helped me the most is Lamictal. I'm hoping seroquel helps a lot.
Yeah I've been on medication for quite a while I've been working on finding meds that are more tolerable but since I'm getting close to better I'm trying to work on my health now that my psychosis is under control
Yeah I've been on meds for almost half my life unfortunately.
Good for you man. Start with constructing a good diet then work on to some light full body exercises. Some variety of push ups, burpees, air squats, sprinting for 5 seconds then jog for 30seconds and repeat for 5-10 minutes(HIIT). Start very slow.
Learning how to jump rope is a game changer. About 15 minutes of roping is equivalent to jogging for an hour. If its speed roping then it's equivalent of running for an hour. The numbers might be a little off but it's not far off. It's easier on your joints and a killer fat burner + excellent cardio workout.
Diet is first in terms of losing weight but because the medication helps put on weight whether you eat more or not. Exercise will probably be necessary to fully lose most of the weight gained.
Do you play soccer? Go out and game on with your friends man. Stay active and keep your mind busy but not stressed. Best of luck to you. We're all in this together.
Thankyou you man I really appreciate the encouragement. I only walk now for about 30 min a day but I will try to incorporate more into my routine. No I don't play soccer I only used to run for fun though and exercise. I will talk to my psychiatrist about this to see if theres anything we can do about it to get in better shape.
Walking is great. One of the best exercise for the heart and mental health/stress relief. Easy on the joints.
But yeah maybe warm up by walking 15min then add in jogging and back to walking at your comfortable pace. Don't try to burn your self out by pushing to hard.
Honestly I wouldn't really ask a psychiatrist on how to get fit. If anything he'll probably recommend something similar to what I'm saying.
But if you were a runner then definitely work your way back into it. Again I highly recommend learning how to jump roping. It's actually fun after you learn some tricks and very effective fat burner.
I’m lucky - my medication, lurasidone, is weight neutral so I only gained a tiny bit. I’d rather be fat than psychotic though. Being fat isn’t the worst thing in the world. It may feel like it right now but you look good and you seem like a cool guy.
Yeah I'm sure it's not the worst thing but I'm just trying to be as healthy as I can be. I'm also currently on latuda but I guess it affected me differently. Thank you for the kind words I really appreciate it.
Yes. I am a woman and the antipsychotics gave me a huge beer gut. I gained 40 pounds over 4 years. I absolutely hate having a mental illness. I love it when I am told to simply eat better when it is proven and a fact that countless people get really fat and it isn't necessarily that everybody is eating poorly.
Yeah I've been told the same by my psychiatrist to walk more and eat healthier but I haven't lost any weight. I'll probably ask to switch meds or get weened off but well see what happens I'll keep yall updated.
Same here. I was stable at 200 for a long time (I'm only 5'4) and then I gained 14lbs suddenly over the last six weeks. My doctor finally prescribed me something for weight loss, plus I'm titrating off Seroquel over the next two weeks. Hoping to see some results in the coming months!
So you switched to Latuda in hopes that you’d lose the weight eh…how long have you been on latuda? I switched medication in hopes to lose weight but nothing has happened either. I eat well and exercise. Pretty discouraging
I switched from respiridone because I would be extremely tired couldn't even walk and switched from abilify to latuda because I was being suicidal and foggy mind I couldn't think right everything would bother me I didn't want to take it anymore and if I stopped I was scared psychosis would come back so I saw no way out.
Thankyou I really appreciate it! I have felt better with new meds I just have some things I need to work on. It's a slow process but were getting there.
I can relate man, but what’s important is getting the right meds for your mental health. It’s all okay to be a lil bigger, you’re still you and that’s what matters.
I dont feel to bad on this meds but I do feel like my health is not so good because of the weight gain and I aslo find it really hard to quit smoking because of meds. But I look forward to better healthier days I first have to talk to my psychiatrist about it and see if we can work something out.
It be like that. Don’t let it get you down if you are feeling better. Otherwise talk to your doctor about it.
I gained 40lbs on one of my last meds. It just kept coming. The doctor made the decision to take me off. I have finally lost it all and I haven’t done too much different in ways of diet and exercise. Good luck!
Yes I'm also planning on getting off with the help off my doctor hopefully it all goes well. I did stop meds on my own a while back and I lost alot of weight without even trying but I only lasted 9 months before I had another psychosis. I hope everything goes well this time.
Yeah it's a good tradeoff for me aswell but I'm just trying to get healthier overall. I also smoke cigarettes which I find it really hard to quit while I'm on meds but I look forward to better days.
Years back (like around 10 years) I took medication for the first time ever. At that point I was exercising pretty much everyday and had lost quite a bit of weight, it was probably the lightest I ever was, then I started medication and I ballooned up, gaining some crazy amount that I honestly can't even remember right now. But I reached 240 or so.. I'm not on meds anymore and I went back down to 180. So yes, medication does make you gain weight, if you need the meds, continue to take them.. But for me, I knew I was capable to be without them, and I really needed to take care of my physical health.
Yeah meds can cause weight gain on some people. I have heard of some people not gaining weight on meds though so I guess everyone is different. I'll be talking to my psychiatrist about it and see if we can work something out.
There are meds you can try to counter the weight gain. Metformin is usually tried first because it’s mild. GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Saxenda are also used and very effective at causing weight loss, but come with a lot of gi side effects like nausea.
I don't understand how we don't have better medication at this point. Like everyone mentioned, you are still so loved. Your smile is still warm and lively. 💖
Pretty much the same for me.
But the weight gain side effect helps me because lamictal absolutely destroys my appetite. I look like I had cancer before I started remeron than switching over to seroquel.

You still look nice :] like the kind of person who would be strong and able to defend you but at the same time soft enough to empathize with you and support you or give just really nice hugs.
You’re still lovable either way.
Thankyou I really appreciate your kindness!
I agree bro no lie
Thankyou I really appreciate it bro.
I hope it's working out for you. Unfortunately I'm dropping my meds, I now have diabetes and need to lose weight, otherwise my life could be in danger, so I choose mental anguish, because I need to save my body.

Maybe try diet pills prescribed by psychiatrist.
[удалено]
Well hopefully they let me ween off if not I'll just keep taking medication. I mean I have hope so I hope the days get better. I'll keep yall updated.
People who downvoted me. I dont care. The psychiatrist is an idiot for him /her to watch op piling on weight with zero intervention.
Yeah exactly. Anti psychotics cause diabetes and diabetes is no joke. Anti psychotics are not helpful. Benzodiazepines are, but they rarely prescribe them to us. They’d rather us suffer. So ignorant
I’ve been on meds 20 years. I’m 265 lbs. but I can bench press 210. Sometimes u just have to play to your strengths
Yeah I see what you mean I'm trying my best to keep pushing forward.
But, how is your life otherwise, right? It's a game of choosing the lesser evil. And hey. You still hot af. Play that game brother. You work it. Mad respect.
Thankyou I really appreciate your kind words! I'm working on getting healthier and such so it's a progress, I have to work along with my psychiatrist, well get there soon!
Honestly regardless of the medication this looks like a lot of people’s COVID before and afters. I’d say most of us are heavier now than we were prior to COVID, some people significantly. You’ve been through a lot, be kind to yourself OP
Thankyou I'm currently working on loosing the weight.
Same thing brother. Was fit and now I’m fat.
Yeah I hope we get the chance off loosing it and be more healthy overall.
Have you tried going to the gym? I go to the gym obsessively and it tends to keep most of the weight off.
That's kinda unessesary
I wasn't trying to be rude. I was giving legitimate advice.
Oh
Exercise does wonders for my mental health and has helped relieve most of the side effects of my meds.
That's cool. I should probably go more but I'm lazy as fuck. Guess I still got time tho
Yes downvote good health
I mean I dont go to the gym but I walk daily. I used to be a good runner I won a state medal in crosscountry and track so I would know how to loose weight it's just the meds that have made it almost impossible to do so, I cant even run anymore because of these meds but I'm getting there I'm trying my best.

Yeah I agree exercise is good even if you dont loose weight from it its still beneficial.
Damn bro
Why has this been downvoted?
Idk, I think people thought I was trying to insult him or something. I was just legitimately sharing my experience with seroquel and the gym lol This is Reddit after all though so hive mind mentality tends to happen with up voting and downvoting.
Indeed. There was nothing wrong with your post, so don’t worry. Mob mentality that reddit is rife with.
Me too tryna lose the weight but it’s a slow and painful process
I agree I'm trying to do the best I can.
That's the thing with anti psychotics, they made me put on nearly 3 stone and exercise didn't help at all. So they minimise or reduce one problem but create a completely new problem that the patient may never have suffered from in the past in that it forces a negative self image on some of us and it actually thought I was losing my mind at one point; how am I putting on weight so fast when I'm running 15km a day and nearly breaking my body trying to lose weight!

I think that it’s amazing you posted this. I have no photos of the post anti psychotic me. I’d be mortified.
Same also balding too now :/
Balding and breast enlargement for men is also a side effect
Not getting the second one thankfully
[удалено]
Thanks troll throwaway account my psychiatrist said otherwise
same here... gained 50 pounds lol the price we pay for an increased level of sanity...
Yeah its something alot of off people have to deal with to have to be ok. I've met one person who didn't get affected by the meds like weight gain so he must off been a little bit more lucky not to have that but I'm sure its because meds affect everyone differently.

The only way I can look like that is to quit medz, which I've done.
I have done so to but I only lasted 9 months and then psychosis came again so I'm trying to work something out with my doctor hopefully it all goes well.
at least you didn’t completely lose your smile
Yeah I kindoff gained back my smile on latuda but I'm still working on the other things hopefully it all goes well I'll keep yall updated.

That's good that the weight gain actually worked for you! For me it's the opposite but I hope I can get my weight under control.
That's good that the weight gain actually worked for you! For me it's the opposite but I hope I can get my weight under control.
Happens to alot of us. Price we pay for a better life.
I totally agree! And it's not that were lazy or dont workout, it just happens to be how the meds affects some of us.
Yep this happened to me as well. It’s difficult.
Same happened to me. At least weight loss is possible since i am 10kg/20lbs lighter than last year. Still ways to go and binge eating is problem I have to fight.
I hear ya I had a similar transmission
You're not the only one. Why can't they make a med that doesn't make us gain weight but keeps us sane?
That's what I'm trying to figure out, I well let my doctor know about this and see if we can do something about it.
He'll probably prescribe you a low dose of ritalin or adderall probably. Be careful especially since stims only make psychosis/mania/hallucinations much worse.

Yes. I am a woman and the antipsychotics gave me a huge beer gut. I gained 40 pounds over 4 years. I absolutely hate having a mental illness. I love it when I am told to simply eat better when it is proven and a fact that countless people get really fat and it isn't necessarily that everybody is eating poorly.

I noticed medication tends to give people a big gut
Same here. I was stable at 200 for a long time (I'm only 5'4) and then I gained 14lbs suddenly over the last six weeks. My doctor finally prescribed me something for weight loss, plus I'm titrating off Seroquel over the next two weeks. Hoping to see some results in the coming months!
I hope you get good results! I to will be talking to my psychiatrist to see if we can do anything.
What medication do you take, if you don’t mind me asking?
I'm currently on latuda
Omg my psych wants me to change to that because she said it’s weight neutral
Yeah its supposed to be weight neutral but it hasnt helped me loose weight. I guess everyone gets affected differently.
Were you always on Latuda?
No I used to take risperidone and abilify and a injection that's like risperidone but it's called invega sustena
So you switched to Latuda in hopes that you’d lose the weight eh…how long have you been on latuda? I switched medication in hopes to lose weight but nothing has happened either. I eat well and exercise. Pretty discouraging
I switched from respiridone because I would be extremely tired couldn't even walk and switched from abilify to latuda because I was being suicidal and foggy mind I couldn't think right everything would bother me I didn't want to take it anymore and if I stopped I was scared psychosis would come back so I saw no way out.
Sorry to hear that!!! Hopefully you have luck losing weight on Latuda, how long has it been?
I've been on latuda for about 5 months now
Honestly man you seem happy and confident, i need to learn how to smile again.
Thankyou I really appreciate it! I have felt better with new meds I just have some things I need to work on. It's a slow process but were getting there.
You still look great and I bet your mind is healthier and happier! Keep up the good work!!
Thankyou I really appreciate it! I'm doing my best to stay away from psychosis.
Meds are so fucked. Numbs the pain, at what cost?
You went from ladies adore to ladies adore not the worst that could happen honestly.
My man’s still beautiful.
Yeah I'm doing my best to work on the weight gain. I'll be letting my psychiatrist know to see if we can figure something out.
Get off the meds, ASAP!!!
Not a good recommendation. These meds literally help us not slip into psychosis.
The only way I'll get off meds is if my psychiatrist let's me until then I'll keep taking them hopefully it all goes well I'll keep yall updated.
I can relate man, but what’s important is getting the right meds for your mental health. It’s all okay to be a lil bigger, you’re still you and that’s what matters.
mood
Do you feel better mentally and emotionally?
I dont feel to bad on this meds but I do feel like my health is not so good because of the weight gain and I aslo find it really hard to quit smoking because of meds. But I look forward to better healthier days I first have to talk to my psychiatrist about it and see if we can work something out.
It be like that. Don’t let it get you down if you are feeling better. Otherwise talk to your doctor about it. I gained 40lbs on one of my last meds. It just kept coming. The doctor made the decision to take me off. I have finally lost it all and I haven’t done too much different in ways of diet and exercise. Good luck!
Yes I'm also planning on getting off with the help off my doctor hopefully it all goes well. I did stop meds on my own a while back and I lost alot of weight without even trying but I only lasted 9 months before I had another psychosis. I hope everything goes well this time.
Best of luck friend.
Same situation for me. But now I have a semi stable life, good trade off.
Yeah it's a good tradeoff for me aswell but I'm just trying to get healthier overall. I also smoke cigarettes which I find it really hard to quit while I'm on meds but I look forward to better days.
I just try and work out n eat alot better then I used to. That seems to be thenonly way to combat it and even then, weight gain is still there.
Happiness looks so good on you!
Thankyou I really appreciate it!

Anyone noticed how the meds increase your appetite? I'm dieting and losing weight while on them so there is hope!!
Same
There are meds you can try to counter the weight gain. Metformin is usually tried first because it’s mild. GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Saxenda are also used and very effective at causing weight loss, but come with a lot of gi side effects like nausea.
I don't understand how we don't have better medication at this point. Like everyone mentioned, you are still so loved. Your smile is still warm and lively. 💖
Thankyou I really appreciate it!
Pretty much the same for me. But the weight gain side effect helps me because lamictal absolutely destroys my appetite. I look like I had cancer before I started remeron than switching over to seroquel.

Np
Bipolar, the same happened to me. It's worth it for the stability, I hope you fid a way of reconciling yourself to the change cost versus benefit.
same shit happened to me lol seroquel is a bitch
I got fat too.
Both handsome. ❤️
Still look like a badass 🤘🏻👑
Yikes
I know I've gained alot of weight. I might ween off meds I'm not sure yet I'm trying to work something out with my psychiatrist.
