Have you guys successfully lost weight while still being on an antipsychotic?
I seen a variation of this question on here but I’d like to ask it again, mostly because I can’t seem to find them. But basically, I’ve seen people say switching from one med to another helped them lose the weight, however I don’t want to switch from my current medication (abilify.) I just want to know if weight loss is possible whilst still on the AP? (I particularly ask this bc i don’t think i’ll be able to come off my medication. At least not any time soon.)
i understand weight loss is simple (not easy to implement, but simple): you expend more energy than you intake. However, I feel like being on an AP adds an extra layer to it. Because I’ve been in a calorie deficit before, and it just feels 10x harder now.
