This is a question I have been wondering about myself. I remember when I was taken off of Geodon, I lost 30 pounds easily. Now, I am on two antipsychotics and I have gained back all that weight and then some. I recently cut out my favorite snack foods and replaced them with fruits and vegetables and began walking regularly again. I am prepared to have the weight come off a lot more slowly than I would like. I would be happy to lose even 6 pounds so my clothes fit me better. I understand your frustrations, though. The meds increase my appetite so it really is a struggle sometimes to eat healthy portions of healthy foods and not snack all day. But, if you think about it, the three years is going to pass by anyway and you can be a healthier weight at the end of it or not. I tell myself to take it one day at a time because I get discouraged otherwise.
