Serotonin

Because when you're not on SSRIs you have to deal with negative emotions and negative emotions are a driver to fix the underlying cause (being too fat). When you take SSRIs it numbs you to the negative emotions and the underlying cause festers.

If it only took 15lbs to get fat u were already fat lol

>Why do antidepressants cause weight gain?
Mostly through increased appetite, the effect on metabolism is negligible. There's also the fact that depression is often associated with ahedonia, which makes appetite even lower, so returning to a good mental state further increases appetite. I had a very easy time cutting when i was depressed myself, I'm happy now and it's much harder when eating is actually enjoyable.

They don’t. The most lean I ever was was when I was on Lexapro. Stop eating so much

how long were you on and how'd you get off? and why'd you quit?

Does anyone have experience with getting off of antipsychotics? How long does it take to get better again?
I quit taking them a week ago and feel even worse than I did when I was taking them.

>>77177675
Yes, But it highly depends which ones they are.

>>77177498
The universal claim that SSRIs cause weight gain is disproven by anecdotal evidence

>>77177700
Nobody made a universal claim.

>>77176562
SSRI’s made me fucking hungry and I ended up stuffing my face

>>77177676
It was aripiprazole.

>>77176562
i would rather kms than be fat

>>77177853
Ok

>>77177849
Yeah, your body has to level out. The way anti-psychotics work is by altering the level of dopamine and serotonin. Your body is going through withdrawal. It's going to take much longer than a week to feel normal.

>>77177849
expect the withdrawal to last like 4 months

>>77177869
>>77177894
Damn... Somehow I was hoping for it to last about 2 weeks since the half-life is 75 but the body needing to adjust again makes sense.
Wish I never started them in the first place.
Thanks for giving me a realistic timeframe.

>>77177958
I hope you feel better soon, Anon. Godspeed and good luck.

>>77177675
Be extremely fucking careful coming off those. Depending on how long you've been on, you could get dopamine supersenitivity rebound. Go ask ChatGPT. Just split pills and taper or you will get extremely sick. Seriously, that shit can be fucking dangerous.

>>77176562
PSSD
enjoy it, it's permanent and everyone who takes SSRIs has it to some degree.

The same Jews that make those demon pills make corn syrup.

Oof

Some fuck with your satiety, making you permanently hungry even after a big meal.

Just don’t be a pussy, what’s wrong with you americans?
I don’t eat a single pill every day and i’m close to 40

>>77177675
I wish I could come off antipsychotics. If I try I just end up insane.

>>77179091
Probably because you need them?

>>77180062
Yeah, that's what sucks. They're a miserable class of drug.

>>77180378
I know with SSRIs their withdrawl symptoms resemble the depression they’re supposed to treat, could something similar be going on with the antipsychotics?

>>77180387
Nah, last time I came off the slow-acting injectable I was fine for almost a year, and then I just spiraled into insanity again. If you do suddenly stop taking the pills (which I'm on now), there is increased risk of rebound relapse, but I'm scared to even try slowly coming off them and trying to manage it because I can't risk going insane again.

>>77180378
Which one are you on?

>>77180760
Invega 6mg. It's better than the Abilify. I can actually manage my hunger somewhat on it at least.

>>77176692
where do you retards come up with this shit?
>>77176923
Anyhoo, zoloft did nothing to my appetite either way. I think I went on a cut while on it too and it went just as expected.
If you come off it, its very weird hearing your eyeballs move lol

>>77180765
If you're willing to try something new, I highly recommend Latuta. I'm on it currently, and I have been for the better part of a decade. It's weight neutral, non-stimulatory, and non-depressive, and has been a godsend for my racing thoughts and impulse control.

>>77180779
My shrink said we could try that if the Invega wasn't working or the side effect profile was too much. As far as side effects go, it only really caused anejaculation, which is gone now, and seemingly a depressive malaise which could be tied to the general sedativeness. Hoping therapy and the addition of an SNRI might make things better.

>>77180785
Well, in any case, keep it in the back of your mind. It really is a great drug. I've been on a whole host of different drugs over the years, probably over 200, all with severe side effects, and this has been the most helpful.

I wish you the very best, and I hope things improve for you.

>>77180786
Honestly I'm hoping this ends up being great.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JRT_(drug)
But it'll be at least a decade before it becomes available if it ever makes it past trials.

>>77180789
Considering I had my first episode after an acid trip, it'd feel kinda full circle if modified acid is what ends up saving me.

>>77177702
stop fucking eating fatty

>>77180789
Ok

>>77180797
>replying angrily to a day old post

don't they kill testosterone? that probably doesn't help

I stopped smoking weed 6 months ago and I entered in a depressive state even though I work out consistently, do cardio, go outside, have gf etc. I went to a psych and he prescribed me 50mg Sertraline. I never took it because I'd rather wake every morning and feeling a crushing dread than have erectile dysfunction. I tried convince him to put me on bupropion but he says it would be risky for me idk why. Idk what to do honestly, I think I will just keep riding the depression until I completely shatter my life. I could control it with smoking weed but they check my piss for work now
