No. I did for a few years but I eventually had to go to really high dose Seroquel (1200 mg) and gained then and then onto clozapine and that took care of the rest. But honestly I also stopped the diet that was working for me, stopped exercising as much, stopped working so am not as active, and am in menopause which makes weight loss even harder. Hopefully I'll get motivated again soon. I'm kind of scared to try with the clozapine because it makes it so much more difficult, even compared to other weight gainer meds. But I also want to fit into my smaller clothes and not hate how I look. I just tried to decrease my clozapine dose and hoped that would help but I just triggered a mixed episode and had to go up higher than I was before. Meds are hard.
