It is absolutely possible to loose weight while on psych meds. I'm on an anti-psychotic + 2 AD's, and need to loose a lot of weight. I started working with a registered dietician early last Oct., and she put together a meal planner for me, and I followed that eating plan. Then I lost that insurance and had to stop seeing her, so I joined weight watchers at work. I've lost a total of 25 lbs. That may seem slow, but remember healthy weight loss is 1-2 lbs a week. I still want to lose another 50 lbs and I'm confident I'll get there eventually.

So far I haven't been exercising, but as I recently lost my job, I may start trying to get to the gym in the afternoons.

Good luck, you can do it.
