> 60 pounds, over what period of time did you gain the weight?

I gained the 60 pounds over about 9 months but I will be honest with you- I ate a lot and didn't exercise. I found that the risperdal REALLY incresed my appetite (to the point where if I didn't eat every few hours I would become hypoglycemic- that seems to be better since I added adderall to the mix). I have lost about ten of the sixty pounds since September but risperdal doesn't usually cause that much weight gain. I was definitely the exception.

How long were you on the celexa and risperdal?

I'm still on both. I just tried to switch to geodon but it made me very sick so as of today I am back to the old regime.

How much time before you began to feel the effects of the risperdal?
I felt the effects of the risperdal almost immediately in that it made me more relaxed. I'd say it was about 1-2 months before it fully kicked in but I experienced some relief immediately.

I don't mind at all! Feel free to ask me anymore questions you might have.
