I was at a crisis unit once after having been there short time before. He had out me on Latuda and I gained 11 pounds and yes I'm disgustingly fat and ugly. I was depressed and suicidal then. He lectured me because he said its weight neutral but I'd gained weight. I've struggled with my weight since I started psych meds at 17. I don't put all the blame on them but let's out pdocs on zyprexa or something similar and see if they gain.

Anyway, I felt SO bad about myself after he said that. Made it hard to recover from my depression! Luckily I have a great pdoc now and I'm on Latuda again and haven't gained.
