Honestly the only thing I could do was lower my meds. I know exactly what you’re talking about, just OBSESSING about food constantly and having no self control. It’s not about allowing yourself to be hungry. I turned into a maniac when I was hungry, the very definition of hangry. I felt like it I didn’t get food in me that instant I would pass out. And at that point I did. Not. Care. Whether it was healthy or not. Keeping healthy snacks around helped but only a little. I would make it all day eating healthy and then binge at night, or make it all week and binge all weekend. When I stopped invega (after gaining 70lb) all that went away. I lost about fifteen pounds over the summer only to be put on high amounts of depakote and zyprexa and gain twenty back. I demanded to be taken off zyprexa and asked to have depakote lowered again and add trileptal. I finally eat like a normal person again.

For me changing meds was the only option. Yes it was hell finding another med that worked as well as invega but I was prediabetic with a fatty liver. I couldn’t risk my physical health anymore. I hope you can find something that works for you that does not cause as much weight gain.
