I do sleep a lot mind you but I am being active 30-60min on most days. In addition I pretty well eat nothing but fresh fruit and veggies. I have accepted the fact that I need medicationto manage my illness and that carrying around extra weight is a sacrifice to the end of achieving and maintaining good mental health. BUT, this is getting ridiculous - when will it stop?

I so agree with you I gained 60lbs on sapharis in 3months, I have never been this fat or ever had this much fat before it's pretty devastating. I am a runner and run anywhere from6 to 12miles a day 7 days a week.On sapharis I had no motivation but I was still walking 3miles a day. Then I got switched to risperdone and still have intense hunger issues but I have lost a little weight and now I am being switched to a different Med... Vylar. I am back running and extremely annoyed w the whole Med thing my quality of life has declined so much. I feel like a zombie only time I feel alive is when I run if I am not doing that I am zoned out mindlessly looking at four walls all day or sleeping my mind is typically blank I think I enjoy sleeping more then being awake lol...
