I lowkey gained a lot of weight once I started my antipsychotics and I’m struggling with accepting my body, I’ve been trying to lose the weight and it’s so hard. Should I talk to my doctor about switching medications? I want to be stable and healthy.

Lamictal has the lowest effect on weight gain- virtually none actually

Yes! If you’re unhappy with it switch. Also this may not be your experience but for me it was super easy to lose the weight after I stopped the med.
