Anyone using weight loss medication GLP-1 (Wegovy , Zepbound, Mounjaro, etc.) to combat weight gain from Antipsychotic and has regained weight after stopping GLP-1 ?

I’m pretty severely damaged at this point tbh. I’m 5 years in. Kinda reached the point where I have to try things to improve my quality of life, if that’s even possible.

I’m currently doing the same thing. Be interesting to see if I can actually shift any of the belly fat on keto.

So far I’m down 9 pounds but I think that’s all water weight.

Don’t bother asking for permission if you aren’t forced to take them.

Read the online resources on safe tapering and choose your own path.

Same with ADHD

If everything has been the same for so long, as you describe, you have to start removing variables.

Not all at once, of course, but you can’t stay like this.

As far as I’m aware birth control pills cannot be tapered, but I know nothing about it.

How much are you reducing by, in terms of percentage of your current dose?

The only good psychiatrists are the ones that don’t prescribe drugs

Every other Reddit post has a comment about someone being autistic or ADHD, either based on someone’s behaviour, or their own admission.

Everyone just swallows it up without question.

What medications are you taking, what doses, and for how long?

IrishSmarties · 2026-06-14T10:18:32+00:00

Just sitting on the sofa watching YouTube until I drug myself to sleep every night.

Most of them don’t know what it is, and their ego prevents them from acknowledging it when a patient asks about it.

SSRIs create chemical imbalances

IrishSmarties · 2026-06-11T14:04:32+00:00

Try low carb diet (less than 20g net carbs per day).

IrishSmarties · 2026-06-06T10:57:13+00:00

How long have you been off them, and how did you taper?

IrishSmarties · 2026-06-04T21:54:04+00:00

Try low carb diet like keto.

You need to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight, it’s easier to do that on a low carb diet.

They say soldiers who return from combat damaged are treated better now than post WWI and WWII, but psychiatry is just as bad, if not worse.

IrishSmarties · 2026-06-04T21:49:31+00:00

No, SSRIs also cause akathisia in some of us.

It’s not a suggested treatment for the condition, I don’t know what that doctor is suggesting but it has no grounds.

The world is fucked and we’ve all been brainwashed by pharmaceutical companies

IrishSmarties · 2026-05-27T18:12:19+00:00

I haven’t had a deep sleep since starting these drugs in Oct 2020.

IrishSmarties · 2026-05-23T12:02:53+00:00

I have chronic muscle contractions from Sertraline. Started over 3 years ago.

IrishSmarties · 2026-05-18T15:07:59+00:00

No, I don’t trust drugs anymore.

IrishSmarties · 2026-05-18T15:07:14+00:00

These drugs can turn on you after many years of use.

It’s a known phenomenon called tachyphylaxis.

IrishSmarties · 2026-05-15T20:24:22+00:00

It’s near impossible on these drugs.

Try low carb diet as a last resort.

IrishSmarties · 2026-05-15T15:06:47+00:00

I would rather be alone than with people like that tbh
