I'm just wondering how it effects your appetite? Do you find that you are hungrier throughout the day or that it's after you take the medication? It would be a shame to stop what is otherwise a good medication for you.
I can relate, at the moment I'm on clozapine and after the night time dose (I've learnt to ignore the false hunger during the day) I get extremely hungry.
I've found a few techniques. Reading teen fiction in bed at night, something easy to follow and doesnt require as much attention can sometimes help if you can fall asleep whilst reading. I've also found leaving enough calories for night time to be 'spent' on fruit or cereal can be helpful. The last thing that is listening to the same CD every night as it kinda reinforces a routine and my body has come to learn that its sleep time.
I hope some of that is helpful, although all of that is probably useless though if you're struggling throughout the day too.
I hope you can find a solution.
