Hi everyone. I had my sleeve 1 1/2 years ago and hit goal for the most part. In the perfect world I would be down another 8 lbs. but I am 5'7" tall and weigh 163 lbs. from 247 lbs. I recently started a new med called Latuda for anxiety to go with my Lexapro. I've been on Lexapro for years and I'm used to the side effects. It's been for the most part weight neutral for me. From what I've read, the Latuda is supposed to be weight neutral, however I think it has increased my appetite a bit. My question for those of you on meds that increase your appetite is, what have you done to combat this? I've done so well and I feel great on the meds but don't want to gain. Suggestions??

I was on Sertraline for anxiety prior to my sleeve. The bariatrician switched me to Wellbutrin (Buproprion) at the first visit. It has helped with the anxiety and is helpful in decreasing appeitite and promoting weight loss.

I dropped Metformin right away, and finally had to drop Lyrica because they were fighting my weight loss.

Unfortunately changing isn't going to be an option. I've had anxiety/depression my whole life, I'm 46 now. I've tried them all. Now it's become a matter of finding the least side effects but what works. Wellbutrin does nothing. I wish it did. I've finally found a great combination.

I am on Wellbutrin, Sertraline, Clonazepam, and Rexulti. I have always dealt with depression and anxiety. I have be prescribed so many meds, and most of them caused a lot of weight gain. These seem to be doing OK now, but is I begin gaining weight after losing it, my first call will be to my psychiatrist.

I work in a psych office and am on latuda my self are you taking it with food it is weight nuetral but I find I get hungry with it on an empty stomach

Ok, thank you. I'm not taking with food. Do you find it makes you tired or wires you? Since we bumped up dosage I find I get a little more sedate. I'm starting to take PM now. I'll start to take with dinner.

the way it hits me is sedative so I always take it after dinner with my other night time meds. I'm glad I could help working in a psych office has its perks

Thanks so much!
