[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 116690, member: 2423"] Jannie, my son used to do this, first when he was taking Risperdal and then Depakote. He ate a lot of carbs, too, and gained a ton of weight. He's now on Zonegran, which causes appetite loss. Even though Seroquel has been added, he's not eating like it's going out of style. I don't know that he'll lose weight, but if he stays the same and keeps growing, we'll be fine. I understand that Topamax has the same effect of appetite suppression as Zonegran. Metformin, the diabetes medication, is also used to control appetite when kids are taking APs. You might want to ask the psychiatrist about these options (I know, not another medication . . . ) [/QUOTE]
