In my experience, yes. I didn't gain anymore weight, my blood sugar returned to normal and I was no longer "too hungry to care."

I would very quickly add that I was never on an antipsychotic for any large length of time (8 months was the longest) courtesy of the above reasons, so I can't speak for an extended period of use.

At any rate, my dilemma (which I would wager is a lot of people's dilemmas) is that even through all of that crap, APs work for me. To balance everything out, my doctor and I agreed to what he termed an "extended PRN." I take an AP as needed like an actual prescription for no more than two months to try and avoid the worst symptoms and address my crisis.

Like before, hope that helps!
