[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 20542, member: 1991"] difficult child 1 gained a lot of weight while taking risperdal. He was hungry all the time but I couldn't police it - we had enough to worry about with his schoolwork. So I just let him eat as much as he wanted to, as long as he ate healthy stuff first AND went out walking every day. We eventually got him working one day a week at the local zoo (shovelling manure, mostly) and even that didn't drop the weight, but as long as he was getting some healthy food in there, plus the exercise, I didn't worry. When he stopped the risperdal the excess weight came off to reveal those wonderful muscles his exercise had developed. He's now underweight again but still eats like a horse. If medications are making him ravenous, it's really hard to limit food. All you can do is channel the appetite into healthier areas, and get him to exercise. Marg [/QUOTE]
