[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 660650, member: 1550"] There are few people on mood stabilizers and anti-psychotics who are thin. They starve you and make you crave carbonhydrates of all kinds. It's really not his fault. I did gain 80 lbs. on Paxil and was a butterball. I finally did start dieting and exercising and lost it, but I have a ton of selfl-control w hen I decide on something. In my case, I stopped eating anything that I knew had sugar in it and stopped craving sugar and I also counted calories and went to Weight Watchers. JMO but complaining too much can lead to disregarding the medication and if it is working, you don't really want to do that. Psychiatric drugs do cause sometimes extreme weight gain. The hunger is insatiable. I had always been skinny and had never eaten a lot. That changes with most psychiatric medications. [/QUOTE]
