Yes I had the same problem. I think honestly when we are handed psych meds they need to hand us a medication to stop the weight gain most every Med causes.
Die from mental health illness Or Due from all the health problems psych Med obesity causes. Not any good option. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

stimulants...wellbutrin+naltrexone combo pill (I think its called contrave), the phentermine+topamax combo pill...a switch to either a less weight gaining atypical or maybe to a low to moderate dose of an older drug...
there's not really a whole lot, sorry. |

oh Pat86,
I feel you , i had the same problem with seroquel and now i have metabolic syndrome/ insulin intolerance and it has caused significant weight gain to the point of diabetes. My endocrinologist is sure the Seroquel caused it, today i see my pdoc and am asking again to have the seroquel changed to saphris. I am at my wits end just like you , good luck with your weight and know you are not alone. warmest regards, Tams __________________ Tams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Whgn_iE5uc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FOUqQt3Kg0 YOU LAUGH BECAUSE I AM DIFFERENT, I LAUGH BECAUSE YOU ARE ALL THE SAME Don't only practice your Art, But force your way through into its secrets, For it and Knowledge can Raise men to the Divine.
