It was slightly different with different meds I took that caused weight gain for me. Overall though I found I just needed to eat a lot more to feel like I was full. Looking back I think if I had stayed mindful I would have gained a lot less weight. When I say staying mindful I mean things such as trying to eat more healthy foods to fill myself up and doing additional exercise. At the time though I had a job where I was pretty active but atypical antipsychotics just make me so tired I was in bed pretty much whenever I was not at work and over the course of a year and a half gained about 60lbs. That was primarily due to the Saphris I was on I think since I switched to Trileptal and the weight started falling off very quickly.
