@swordiebrom posted a new topic, subject "When do you think hope will come?". It read:

   With a medication that doesn't have weight gain and increased prolactin significantly, thats the only 2 things i hope for.

Then @chordy said

    To me, hope is more about something you can do with your own power. Don't waste it on something you cannot do anything about.

So @swordiebrom replied

    For me, my weight is limited by my medication, I have already ate healthily and taking a balanced lifestyle. Even my nutritionist says he hasn't seen anyone lost all the weight they gained yet

@chordy replied

    I lost all my excess weight, but the gain wasn't due to meds.

After which, @swordiebrom added

    What med are you on to lose all your weight? Geodon?

So @Aziz replied

    There are meds that don't really increase prolactin.

@chordy replied

    Ziprexa. A lot of people have gained on it. But I was and am in a good home and I exercised. Weight just came off without an issue.

Then @yoda123 said

    when i started clozaril i gained almost 100lbs
    
    now im trying really hard to eat healthy but with the depression keeps me from daily exercise
    
    i lost 20lbs so far but i have a long way to go
    
    it is so hard to lose on all the meds

To which @swordiebrom replied

    So how much did you gain and how much did you lose?

After which, @chordy added

    About 55 pounds. I had weighed 163 lbs when I moved into this home 18 years ago. I've weighed 106 lbs for years, now. My weight is stable for the first time in my adult life.

@swordiebrom replied

    Did diet help you more or exercising?

@chordy replied

    I was not anthonyjones@example.com.
