[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 491821, member: 1550"] Oh, yes. It's not just Risperdal either. I'd say most psychiatric medications not only make you hungry, but starve you (I've taken many). My son gained twenty pounds in one month on Risperdal. He took Zyprexa too and kept gaining. Depakote/Lithium/Seroquel...all made him hungry all the time. The worst thing about it is they make you crave either too many carbs or just plain too much food. He has been off medications for eight years now and is still obese. Sometimes I wonder if it screwed up his metabolism. He asn't like this at all pre-medication. It's a real problem with psychiatric medications. [/QUOTE]
