I'm so happy for you Kimberly! I'm sure you already are feeling more energetic already! I was lucky, I did not gain weight from any medications I've taken that had weight gain as a side effect, including antidepressants. For me, keto was the answer. Not just the fat and the protein, but the appetite control. Once I started feeding myself nourishing and delicious foods, I stopped snacking and eating sugary junk foods altogether. Great job!

Thank you so much!💚 I'm currently on kariprazine I think it's called in English? And yes the main reason I think to losing this weight was the change in medications since I wasn't hungry all of the time anymore and I also got more energy to move my body again. Have a nice day too! 🥰

So happy to hear you have less pain, more happiness, and cheering you along your journey! 🎉💪 My partner gained a lot of fat because of medication, so I see that struggle first-hand. I also gained fat from depression over the past few years. I’m finally feeling good, so I haven’t been overeating or sitting all day, and I’ve begun to shed the extra fat slowly. It feels so good to have energy again! 😁 Have you heard about Glucose Goddess? My sibling told me her advice helped them a lot with energy and stress, just with minor changes, like the timing of eating carbs. I want to learn more and maybe try it myself, because it sounds simple and not restrictive. I can’t give up carbs completely, but I want better balance.

Keep up the good work. I was able to come off my meds since they were mainly for sleep, and I'm able to mostly control my triggers.

Not being negative, just honest. I'm 42, and I've noticed my mental disorders have phases, and sometimes, I have to take the medication for a time to get stable.

My weights been trouble too. In my 20s on antipsychotic meds I used to wake up every morning with 4 or 5 bowls next to my bed as I'd been eating cereal all through the night. Just an example. I have been to 100kg then down to around 70kg several times in the last 20 years. Last year I got down to 70kg and recently I was 94kg ha I'm 90kg now. Wouldn't it be nice to not be on meds and see how eating and weight falls naturally. I'm on keto now, I lost that 4 recent kgs of water weight in 2 weeks now I've lost nothing in 2 months anyway these people on psyche meds that weight is no issue are quite lucky I think.

Hi! I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 in 2020. I actually had weight loss surgery in 2017 and lost 115 pounds. I kept it off until i was put on lithium and risperidone. I gained all my weight back within 9 months of 2020 and I have steadily gained since. I'm currently 315 and have all the issues and more that initially made me get WLS. I'm happy you found a way to lose weight. I often feel defeated, depressed and embarrassed that I gained all the weight back and seemingly can't lose it. I know it a combo of both meds and the eating habits I fell into since 2020. I would love to see how you did it specifically !

I’m on olanzapine 10 mg for the past 23 years. I was 18 when I started it now I’m 41. And lately, I’m not sure why, maybe my age, I can’t lose more than 1 -2 kilograms no matter how hard I try. I work out, I walk a lot. But it’s okay for me during the day, I don’t feel hunger but at night, after I take my medication, I can’t stop eating. As you said low carb diet really helps me but on olanzapine I just crave for carbs and just keto diet isn’t satisfying for me. I tried changing my medication but it didn’t work out for me.

@@KimberlyHallberg yes, I feel great hunger after an hour I take olanzapine. Losing weight on olanzapine feels really like a battle. But idk, my dad has Parkinson’s disease and he has been on the old types of medications for years (he has psychosis) so I am afraid if I change my medication that I will develop Parkinson’s as well since a lot of antipsychotics can cause Parkinson’s like symptoms and olanzapine seems to be less likely on that matter. I already tried risperidone but I felt like zombie on it and I tried aripriprazone but I felt into psychosis like 4 days after taking it, so idk. I think I will try low carb diet again though it’s so hard to fight the desire for carbs on olanzapine especially at night

Hi! I tried working part-time in 2020 but sadly only managed a few months before getting very ill again. but I hope to work some part-time again after school. Maybe if you could you could try working from home or part-time? if you can handle it financially? 💚

What is your height and weight currently? I am really wondering because I would like to know your BMI as I am on a weight loss journey and would like to lose weight with you! I can relate to your weight loss journey because I used to weigh 94 kg at 1.76 m (5 feet 9.3 inches), which is considered Class 2 obesity. According to one website, my BMI was in the 30s. Today, I weigh 77.3 kg! I was of normal weight throughout much of my childhood, though I might have been slightly underweight. The reason for my weight gain was Psychosis (NOS), which you may have heard of. I was quite difficult to diagnose and was also diagnosed with social anxiety disorder. I ended up gaining 34 kg (about 74 pounds) as a result of the medication. However, I haven't been mentally ill for over two years now and am fully recovered. I went from 60 kg to 94 kg due to the illnesses, and now I am 77.3 kg, so I have lost about 17 kg (37 pounds). Interestingly, I need to lose about 17 kg (37 pounds), which is similar to your goal of losing 40 pounds! Also, my father's colleague has had either a gastric bypass or gastric sleeve surgery, so it seems like everyone is losing weight! What is your goal BMI? Mine is 20.
