Have you experienced weight gain due to using antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs
I used to worry about the weight that antidepressants caused me but after almost dying after taking a bottle of sleep meds because because I was so depressed I do not worry about it so much. I gained 60 lbs in 12 months. I am happier & more outgoing than I have ever been in my life because after 5 years of the wrong combo of meds I finally got the right ones to make me normal. I have lost 30 lbs of the weight & have 30lbs to go. It has come off slowly with a lot of walking & Weight Watchers. But if u do not lose the weight it will be okay. Learn to love yourself as u r & live life to the fullest daily. It could be worse u could be six feet under because u r worried about not taking meds because of the weight gain. Good luck, God Bless you.

They all make you gain weight- some people gain 50-70 pounds on those types of drugs.

I do not remember which specific ones make u gain & which make u lose. But several of the antipsychotics make it easier to gain weight. And most of the antidepressants (SSRIs) can have u gain like five pounds.
If you're concerned about the weight gain go to ur prescribing doc about it. Have them work with u to find the right balance of diet & exercise. Whatever u do, do not go off the meds just because they're making u gain weight. It is better to be a little heavy than to have ur life out of control.
I know how frustrating meds can be. Hang in there!

A lot of those make you gain weight! I started gaining a lot of weight after I started taking those. Xnax, Lithium and klonopin all made me gain weight. I did not realize they were making me gain weight when I first started taking them. Now when I go to the doctor I tell him not to put me on anything that makes me gain weight. Just ask your doctor if weight gain gain is a side affect when ever he puts you on something new. Read the patient infor. when you get it.

most antidepressants are weight gainers. Paxil you can really pack the weight on. Go ask your doctor which one does not make you gain as much.
Have you experienced weight gain due to using antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs
Yes, but I've lost about 15 pounds without exercise recently. I've discovered the human body needs far less food than most people feed it. This is not an invitation to be anorexic. however.
