[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 689176, member: 1963"] UAN, I wasn't trying to imply that you knew nothing. AAPs are atypical Anti-psychotics. Organic chemistry is what it takes to learn how these drugs work in the brain and about how they effect various aspects of metabolism. The blood glucose issue is really important as there is a proven link between several AAPs and type II diabetes. What infuriates me is that psychiatrists are not warnings patients or parents about this risk, or about the fact that these drugs jack up "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides. Also, having experienced them as someone who weighed about 132 when all this started, the food drive from at least zyprexa goes well beyond "willpower". It becomes an overwhelming drive. I'm no longer on the old AAPs. I'm on a light dose of a newer one called Latuda. So far, while I don't like the cognitive dulling, it does keep my moods mostly in place, and I'm not dealing with that deep, unbearable hunger. I've lost about35lbs. I'm down from 225 or so when I moved to Milwaukee last year, to about 190. FIrst time I've been below 200 in quite a while. [/QUOTE]
