Default Medication made me fat, now I'm here...

I was on the worst drug in the world for weight gain; Olanzapine and gained 5 stone (70 pounds) in less than a year. Came off it and switched to abilify , lost 2 and a half stone and gained it back in the over 2 years on abilify grrr haha I CAN lose weight on abilify I lost the 2 and a half stone on it but it seems i just have to look at a glass of wine or hotdog and I gain weight super grrrrr lol Anyway I'm hoping to make friends here. I've a week of healthy eating (a week and a day woop woop ) over me and am feeling thiner already . So in conclusion, I've gained weight , Olanzapine sucks and i'm staying away from wine for a while

I feel you and it's just so hard to try to get better when you like your body is playing tricks on you...

oh yeah... i also do feel for you, but you've got to remember that weight loss medications are not, by far, the solution... I've heard (and i'm sure all of you did) about women losing weight on medications... but they all gained it all back after getting off of them... https://drugreviews.org/forum/health...ght-loss-drugs
