My meds are currently
Latuda 100 mg (weight neutral)
Seroquel 50 mg (weight neutral due to low dosage; gained weight in the past when taking large doses of Seroquel)
Gabapentin 900 mg (I think it is weight neutral for me).
In the past I gained huge amounts on Depakote, Elavil, Zyprexa. Somewhat less on large doses of Seroquel. These three were worst offenders for me. I have lost some of that weight and plateaued at 20% off my highest weight. I am still obese but I look proportional and thanks to resistance training am strong and have muscles.

I have trouble restricting carbs because I eat a vegan diet. I was thinking about going non vegan, just for weight loss purposes, but simply cannot! I'll alternate my cereal intake though. Thanks for the suggestion.
It's good you're strong and muscular.
I've had less than a stellar day so far.
Just got done eating pancakes. Sigh. I'll do better the rest of the day!
