I’m in a normal weight range but on the higher end of they scale. I’ve definitely had to alter my meals and exercise to help with it. Im also getting older she metabolism is slowing . I can’t eat a family size bag of Doritos and 5 sodas in a day without reaping the repercussions anymore. Not that at 20 I was doing any favors to my body lol.

I’ve also lucked out with my meds. Most are weight neutral , and adderall does have appetite suppressant properties. Weight gain is a serious concern with psych meds and I watched my sister struggle immensely with it. I refuse to go through that pain. I’m blessed currently, I don’t. I have been on meds that put on the pounds in the past and really had a difficult time accepting that it outweighed the benefits. Mental and physical health are intertwined. It’s hard to say one is good if the other makes you feel like crap.

My advice is give it your all to curve the weight gain. But if it becomes too much — seriously consider your options . Mental health in my book is top priority. But whole being health comes a close second .
