It is great that you joined weight watchers and that you are doing something about your weight.
Lithium can kill off your thyroid so you should have your levels checked. Hypothyroidism causes weight gain.
Out of everything you are taking it is most likely the Risperdal that is causing the weight gain. It made me puffy and I gained 10 pounds in one week. What do you think the Risperdal does for you?
Since you are feeling better you should probably stay on your cocktail and stick to weight watchers.
On the flip side (devil's advocate) I wonder if you aren't being over medicated? You are on a lot. What is your diagnosis?
