Hi. Yes, for me, two years ago, I decided to taper off all my meds due to too much weight gain, like you. I managed to lose all the weight [dieting and exercise] but being completely meds free was, for me, to put it mildly, a nightmare. But I was stubborn and wanted to push through my symptoms until they either subsided or disappeared completely, but neither of those things happened - I got worse! My goodness. So, after 12 months - almost to the day - of being meds free, I went back on certain meds but not back on the ones which caused the weight gain and I began to stabilize again *heaves a sigh of relief*. So, my advise is to monitor your well-being at all times and if you find your mental health deteriorating, seriously consider going back on the meds, and also talk to your doctor about trying different meds or changing your tactics, so as not to gain weight. I wish you well, Blupri5. Hopefully your experience wont be like mine was.
