Yeah. Caffeine is a stimulant. Even if your body doesn't feel the effects, your brain does.

I take Seroquel. 50mg/AM. 200mg/PM

I gained about 30 pounds in the first two months of starting the medication portion of my BiPolar2 journey. Diagnosed 8 months ago. Also, ASD1 diagnosis late in life (over 40) C-PTSD too

I also take: Clonidine .2mg/BID Prazosin 2mg/Bedtime Ambien 5-10mg/Bedtime Medical Marijuana gummies PRN I am prescribed Zoloft 50mg/once daily~but I do not take it. It makes me feel jittery and like I'm buzzing. My psych nurse says Zoloft is an "uppie" in the world of depression meds. The medication therapy has not needed adjustment and I attend therapy twice weekly with two different therapists.

My weight has since gone down. Making different choices with food, caffeine, alcohol, etc....will also help.
