Advice how to lose weight on psych meds
To those on psych meds — have you successfully lost weight?
I’ve been on escitalopram and risperidone for over a year and gained 10 kg (22 lbs). Currently at 62 kg, hoping to lose at least 5–10 kg. My doctor recommended portion control and light cardio, but it’s not really working for me.
Has anyone else dealt with this? What actually helped? Any tips on diet, exercise, or managing the hunger/cravings that come with these meds would mean a lot. 🙏
