I completely understand. Invega caused me to gain 75lb in the course of a year. I didn’t even realize it was happening. I knew I kept buying new clothes but I didn’t realize how big I had gotten. I finally stabilized weight wise but I couldn’t stop eating. I finally went off the invega and then it took me a year to find the right combo of meds again. It was so frustrating. And I still can’t lose any damn weight. I’ve lost and gained the same 20lbs for the last three years. I start to do well with eating and then I get depressed and say **** it and eat my feelings. Now I’m at my heaviest weight ever and I’m very upset about it. I’m getting out walking because it’s good for my back so that’s good. I agree with the others, you have to start small.

But my point is I get the frustration of choosing between mental and physical health.
