I don't think there are psychiatrists who don't seem to acknowledge these risks, I know it. I saw it during my last hospitalization, when half the hospital was on massive doses of Seroquel and becoming diabetic. It is a major, major problem. I understand that they have a hard job balancing these things and that there really aren't an endless number of med options for them and us, but geez, this is like, a crisis for some people. It's part of why I stopped my Abilify. But in the end, I couldn't do it. I get psychotic off it, so, there you go. I am stuck.
If I didn't ride my bike 7000 miles a year, I would probably easily weigh at least 40-60 pounds more.
