How :(

I've been jerked around and switched my meds so many times. I getting taken off Risperdone, I just did a taper from 0.5 MG to 0.25 MG and it was probably the hardest 2 weeks of my life. I still feel the brain zaps and my head gets rattled in a second flat when I hit the gym.

I told my psychologist that it's what I'd imagine going through chemo feels like. It's painful

Now I'm on 3 MG rexulti, which treats major depression and schizophrenia but I'm not schizophrenic, I'm Bi-FUCKING-Polar

I hate this

Lots of sunlight, cabbage, spinach, tomatoes, nuts, and fruits. Make a bowl with your hands if your plate has more food than this measurement you will not lose weight good metabolism or not. Jumping jacks and jump rope are unsung heroes for cardio. No more soda, no more snacks.

You can be on the most insane med around, but they will not allow you to break the law of thermodynamics. Find out your current avg energy intake, now go below that avg and stick to it. By the laws of physics you WILL lose weight. Be it muscle, fat or what have you.

Thanks made me feel better because I like math and physics as a layman, but one day I'd like to be a professional.

Thanks, I'll cut more calories. I can run for an hour at a time, I don't snack or drink soda.

My biggest problem is reoccurring depression and anxiety episodes

Depending on how overweight you are I would not reccomend running, as it is terrible on your joins especially if your body is not conditioned to it, switch to cycle or elliptical and keep the cardiovascular up every day. The stronger you make your heart the longer you'll live. Diet is literally 80% of weight loss, and def the hardest part.

Get your thyroid checked regulary. My bi polar med helped me gain 60lbs in a few months. test showed the meds gave me a thyroid issue but took time to show. Got on thyroid medicine, cut bipolar meds, changed my environment, started working out and got happy. Goodluck.

OP, I feel ya. As someone who suffers from similar problems I would like to know the answer to this too. I'm really at my wits end and I want to do ECT because I can't function without meds, and also can't take the side effects. Some people here may suggest going off your meds, and tell your that you can get better though willpower and healthy life choices. I don't know, I think healthy people can't really appreciate the strong grip a chemical imbalance can have on your psychology.

I fucking hate Western medicine.so quick to prescribe a pill then 3 years down the line, 'oops you didn't have that'
