Hey depressed!
I’m with you, the weight gain sucks!!! After many attempts, the dr started me on metformin for weight loss & I finally successfully weaned down on my antipsychotic and up on an antiepileptic... and success!!! The weight is falling off!! I’ve lost 22lb along with diet/exercise.
Talk to your doc about this if you haven’t yet & see what options are out there.
I’m much happier on my current med regimen with fewer side effects- win win!
