i've been on prozac (40mg) and wellbutrin (200mg) for a while now and was not getting any relief from severe depression. my psych put me on .5mg risperdol and i have had a great deal of improvement.
however, i am concerned about weight gain. i've tried to do some reading, but am confused by conflicting info. some say it is due to increased appetite and can be controlled by diet, others say that it is due to a change in metabolism and cannot be helped. my doc says that at the low dose i am taking, it isn't an issue.
as i am new to risperdol, i'd love to hear from anyone who has experience.
