What are the best medications for weight loss with diabetes? For most patients, the blood sugar levels will be more in check and they will feel better overall after losing some weight. Weight loss doesn’t have to be dramatic to improve insulin sensitivity. When it comes to weight loss medication, the key is to talk to a professional and that is why Dr. Ergin is here to tell you all about it..

In this video, I discuss my journey with weight gain while taking antipsychotic medication. I share about a period where I gained almost 60 pounds over a very short span of time as a result of the psychiatric medications I was on. I also share how I lost the weight and how I work on maintaining good general health and wellness while on antipsychotic medications..
If you are struggling with weight gain as a side effect of your psychiatric medication, I strongly encourage you to bring it up with your doctor. They should be able to work with you to find something that works better for you in terms of reducing weight gain, or they can help you find alternative means to help maintain a healthy weight..
I also just want to reiterate that, so long as you feel well and healthy, it does not matter how much you weigh. At any weight, you are just as deserving of love and happiness as anyone else or as you at any other weight. Focus on being healthy!

Why do you gain weight with antidepressants and mood stabilizers?
In this video I discuss two way. One way is by blocking histamine 1 receptors. We usually think of histamine as something that is associated with allergies and your immune response. If you’re exposed to something your body is sensitive to, you get a histamine response that can look like itching, runny nose or even shortness of breath. And if you take an antihistamine like Benadryl, it slows the allergic reaction and you feel better. That’s how it works from the neck down. Histamine acts differently in your brain. In certain parts of your brain, it’s responsible for wakefulness or your ability to be alert. That’s why if you take an anti-histamine it may reduce your allergic reaction, but if it crosses the blood brain barrier, it can also make you sleepy because it’s blocking histamine’s stimulating effect in your brain. There are four histamine receptors, I’m going to talk about H1 receptors..
A second mechanism is blocking the 5HT 2c receptors. This is just a type of serotonin receptor. It’s been shown in mice that if you activate their 5HT2c receptors, they lose weight because they eat less. And if you block the receptor they became obese. Many of the newer antipsychotic medications block this receptor. Of all the antipsychotic medications, the worst offenders when it comes to weight gain are olanzapine, clozapine and quetiapine. And all three of these medications block 5HT2c..
In this video I also discuss what you can do to offset the weight gain..
