I wonder though. Are you overweight? Have you ever gained 40 pounds from psych meds then tried to lose them? I tried a diet where I varied my calories from 1000 to 1200 to 1500 a day, so as not to go into fasting metabolism. Didn't lose a pound. I lifted weights for years, though now I am so fat I'm embarassed to lift weights with all the mirrors in the rooms. I swim 3-4 times a week and interval train. No go. Are you a middle-aged woman? Weight loss gets more and more difficult when you are.

This si a problem for me because I have arthritis in one knee that is made much worse by the weight. Also, parnate is not holding me, but I refust to accept this since the alternative, nardil, almost always causes weight gain and I will never take a med again that cause weight gain. I tried all the AAPs and they all worked for me (except geodon) and they all made me gain weight at frighening rates -- risperdal, 15 pounds in one month. Zyprexa -- 15 pounds in three weeks. Abilify -- 10-12 pounds a month and this was so affective that i tried it for months, with cytomel, metformin, alli.
