[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 227685, member: 1550"] My son gained over 50 pounds on mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. He's been off medications for four years, but it still overweight. He was not heavy before medications. Although I was VERY concerned and brought it up to psychiatrist constantly, nothing worked to stop the weight gain. In fact the incredible weight gain (he was 11 years old and 150 lbs) was what triggered the neuropsychologist appointment for my son. I wanted to see if he REALLY needed the medications that were making him obese. He was non-stop starving on the medications (Lithium and Seroquel) and ate all the time. We find it impossible to limit him. He found ways to get food and it was the sugary food that he craved the most. I stopped buying treats so he'd eat a loaf of bread in the middle of the night when we were sleeping. It was terrible! [/QUOTE]
