[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 589050, member: 11791"] Well... I can talk to two of your challenges, in case that helps. The APs and the ADHD medications. If you can tolerate the right combo, the two can counteract each others' worst side effects. For ADHD medications, the stims are well known as appetite suppressants. And many of the APs - including Risperidone - definitely increase appetite. Have you tried the stims? with what effect? If you haven't tried them, maybe discuss with the psychiatrist from the angle of both ADHD medications and taking the edge off the appetite. The other part of the appetite picture is... if you take Risperidone, you MUST manage your blood sugar. Not quite to the level of a diabetic, but... it is serious. It is vitally important to keep blood sugar as even as possible. That means including protein and fat in EVERY meal and EVERY snack. It means planning for snacks - make them part of your daily meal plan. It means that breakfast is a critical meal - really make it count. [/QUOTE]
