well I am down to 150 and the zombie eating seems to be stopping. Lost nearly a stone now.

I am feeling far less hungry on 200 than I did on 400. Still zombie eating, but hoping this will get better as I get weaned off the horrible serohell

I am bumping this thread as I have suffered 60 lbs weight gain on 400 mg of this stuff. I will be the first to admit it has improved my mental health, but obesity gets me down. I take the 400 at night and then I "zombie eat". This is when I get up in the night and start raiding cupboards in a half wake/half sleep state.…

thanks for your support and thanks incisron for the friend request. My OA is only mild and only in one knee so time to lose the weight now before it gets worse

thanks! that is really helpful. I was only adding more water, no milk or anything. I love this coffee machine!

I will not come of serohell. I have had 11 years of very ill health, being admitted against my will into psych wards. It is only since I discovered serohell I have actually been well. Do not want to go back to chopping and changing meds. I have too much to lose. I have a little boy who would miss me if I got admitted and…

It is difficult as I have been extremely ill with bipolar for 11 years, getting involuntary psych admissions. Then I discovered seroquel 4 years ago and have rebuilt my life and am now stable. But fat.

I am glad it is not just me. Your description of a zombie is very good. That is what I am like in the night. I bought my 3 year old a big tin of sweets last week and half are now gone. The shame of it, stealing off a 3 year old boy.

I eat a lot in evenings but it is the bad stuff eg crisps. What is a high protein food you would recommend (I am vegetarian)?

No not right and you sound like an idiot.

I phoned the company back today and complained that I was told to "eat more, stop dieting and push my BMI up". They could not have been less interested. Instead the woman said at my BMI I needed a gastric balloon and they help loads of people with binge eating disorder and have "never once had a patient who has not lost…

alcoholic foods are foods you cannot control. for example if I start an entire trifle or cake i end up eating the lot.

Unfortunately it is impossible to not have alcoholic foods in the house as husband loves his cake!

Unfortunately psychological help is almost impossible in the UK unless you pay private (which I am considering doing). I have gone through this with bipolar and had to be admitted into a psychiatric intensive care before I was deemed to be ill enough to access the therapy.

The weird thing is I was a drug addict for years and this bingeing only started when I quit drugs. It is like I transferred one addicition to another. I have just bought Overcoming Binge Eating on Amazon. Hopefully when that arrives it will help me. I am not sure a band would help me as I would probably just binge on…

It is really difficult for me because I have NEVER had a healthy relationship with food. From an early age my mum called me a fat cow leading me to be anorexic for years. Suddenly the anorexia stopped and the bingeing started. I really need psychological help. Am thinking of going to overeaters anonymous.

I am desperate to stop bingeing and lose weight. I am losing weight with MFP but very slowly. I lose for 2 or 3 days then go on 2 day long binges. It is really getting me down.

Still on track today apart from 2 polo mints and 2 crisps (not bags of crisps, just 2 individual ones)

I have had a horrible experience with a despicable law firm which have made my life a misery. I run a micro contract cleaning firm and they have been a nightmare and will probably not cough up their last bill of £700 (just over 1000 usd). They have told me that if I go to the small claims court they will counter sue as…

I wish they had surgery where they could just cut out your stomach totally!

Thank you for the lovely messages. I thought I would get a load of "just go on and eat then...or go back to drugs" type of messages so glad about that. I have referred myself to a counselling service and am waiting for an appointment for that. I am giving it another go so no more food tonight!

The problem with being an emotional eater is I have a combo of bipolar disorder and I am a recovering borderline personality. I turned to prescription drugs for years and it was easy. I had a drug of abuse for every mood-valium for the anxiety, caffeine pills plus pseudoephrine for drowsiness or slow thoughts and my…

got back on track and this morning had lost 0.7 kg from yesterday. think this is a one off spurious weight loss as I binged yesterday, but now back on the wagon. i just want to say to all the idiots who posted things like "go on quit then" I think you should know that i HAVE BINGE EATING DISORDER which has been diagnosed…

thanks for all the lovely messages....I just needed a kick up the *kitten* really. I will start a fresh now and get back on the wagon. i am a really placid calm person but lost it today at the disciplinary hearing calling him a bull****ter and a lying thief. That is not what I am like normally. Taking an evening off work…

have now been up for over an hour and so far so good! had a healthy breakfast and working hard on building a website to try and keep my mind off things. does not help my 19 month old son is wandering round with a giant chocolate lolly shouting LOL LO, LOL LO (that is his name for the lolly)

thank you so much for all your lovely messages, and the supportive PMs too. tomorrow is another day and thanks to all your help am going to get back on track! if anyone looks at my food diary over the last few days I have not logged all the bingeing so it is not correct

Unfortunately the battle of the crisps is still rumbling on. I have been here since 7 January 2013 and have now lost 10 lbs-pretty good going in my book! Last night reached for the crisps again to be told "no, you are no allowed crisps.....you cannot be that hungry....I thought you were on a diet". This time I dived behind…

@kristinanicol as a fellow bipolar i have taken both seroquel and zypyrexa. both are dreadful for weight gain but my opinion from my experience is zypyrexa is the worst when i was last in hospital they had no beds for acute mania so they put me on the eating disorders wing! I was shocked to see the nurses load up the…

Hello, I have a medical degree and have taught psychiatry, neuroscience and pharmacology at Cambridge and Manchester Universities, although I quit being a clinician and a lecturer to set up a business. I also have taken quite a few different antidepressants in my time. For what seems like a very simple question there is…

I got mine of ebay-I really like it. The rice itself is bland, but nice when you start adding in sauces.
