I went on it soon after going on clozaril. It stopped the weight gain and I lost about 15 lbs and maintained that until stress eating the weight back after losing a family member last year. I've lost about 6 lbs again. I had to stop it recently because another non-psych med was causing GI issues and the metformin wasn't helping. I'm hoping to get off the bad med soon and get back on it.

Protein at night helps a lot as I don't eat as much then. I will sleep-eat on clozaril at times so if I'm full when I go to bed it is better.

Welcome back!
