Moose, have you tried Metformin? It helped me lose the weight I had gained from clozapine (not the other 80some lbs though) and helps me keep it off. I've gained a few pounds lately but haven't been eating very well and my exercise has decreased with the extreme heat this summer. But overall the metformin really helps me. I need to start eating better and see if I can get those lbs off. Ideally I'd lose 10 lbs and then I'd be where I was a year ago when I started some health issues that messed me up.
It's probably lowering my blood sugar too but I'm on a small dose so not by too much. I feel safe that if we took the metformin away I'd still be ok.
