Psychosis

[Bluebutterfly]

I have gone through psychosis a year ago because some family members tried to kill me so I was paranoid and i was in hypervigilance and also very afraid doctors prescribed me antipsychotics and i ate them for a year but I want to know that the wight gained by them is temporary or permanent. I really want an answer.
If any one had information about it please do share

Hello. Are you still taking the meds? I was on a medication that caused weight gain but stopped taking it and lost most of the weight after dieting and working out. All weight gain is temporary but it can be very hard to lose weight on medications, I know the feel. The best thing to do is get your body moving at least once a day, even going for a 30 minute walk is good. Best of luck!

Hmm, have you dieted or exercised? And if you did what were the results?

I have not dieted or exercised and their is a slight difference but I am not able to come back to my previous self.....

Temporary. The weight gain is fat like any other fat gain. I gained significantly with seroquel and it has since been lost. Has your appetite and calorie intake increased? All that can be done for fat loss is calorie reduction and exercise.

I eat a lot because my hunger had not decreased...I get cravings that I cant control
