I've known I have but everyone's been kind and saying they don't notice. Now I got the truth and I literally can't function. I know it's not such a big deal but my brain can't shut this stuff up and I'm a mess. Not looking for attention-just help to get this cloud outta my head. It won't lift and I feel comatosed from it.

Hi,
I'm also on Wellbutrin and Lamictal, but they are weight-neutral to me. I did gain weight on Zyprexa a few years ago, a lot of weight that I can't shake off now, it's devastating really. If you feel much better with these meds, maybe it's worth staying on them, especially if the weight gain is minimal. And I'm sure you weren't overweight to begin with, so it's maybe true that you look better now. However if you feel it's really too much, talk to your doctor about it and try to find a new combination maybe. That worked for me.
Good luck!
