From being diagnosed at 32 and starting meds, I had steadily gained weight. Some from feeling lethargic, and not having the energy to move, some was my diet because I craved sugar constantly, sometimes I was overcome with executive dysfunction and also because side effects of meds made me sick. A year ago I switched from abilify to depakote and about six months ago I started a a non stimulant adhd medication that helped my executive dysfunction. A month ago I moved cross country and have been walking and exploring with my kids and I have lost 25lbs since the move. I am finally back under 200.
