But if you’re ok on rexulti then just stay on it, usually you hit a set point and you won’t go higher, it just may be higher weight than you like.
If you want to fight th gain, exercise and a veg diet worked well for me until I got tired of doing it.

Thanks SP. I think I am at my set point but I have to lose weight because I'm way overweight now thanks to this med. I was actually losing weight before I started on Rexulti. Then I gained each time we raised it. I'm exercising (more) but not enough. I need to limit bad carbs and probably quit soda but I'm addicted to soda. Try not to eat meat. Just veggies and beans and rice and stuff like that. Problem is, I eat what my Mom fixes me. I gotta get her to stop cooking meat all the time. We usually have chicken which is healthier than beef, but still, gonna have to do something.
