Does Halving Or Changing Pills


Miko

Recommended Posts

I am up to 17st from 16st in a month, having eaten less than before and been busy rushing about more.

Is Risperidone 2mg daily a 'suspect' and do you think I would lose weight again by arranging to halve it - I did fairly well on 1 mg and doubling it was just an experiment requested by me - or by asking for a different drug, say quetiapine, instead?

I think it just depends on your body Miko. Olanzipine is without a doubt the most renowned for weight gain and supliride is worst for hormonal issues, but apart fro mthat it is just about finding which one affects you least. If you find weight gain an issue with risperidone then try quetiapine x
