Thanks, Peter, I'm definitely printing this info out for my doctor.
Here's kind of a technical question...the fat and the anger are combining to make for a terrible Saturday night...
Does Risperidone result in weight gain as a function of appetite? or does it cause some metabolic change?
I work out almost religiously and have shrunk to nearly a 30 inch waist (from a 34 two years ago) This small waist is important because of my weak shoulders and small stature.
Despite cardio 3-4 times per week in the past two weeks I have developed a significant tire. I look silly in the clothes I recently bought.
I asked this before and got a pat response about diet and exercize being key to fitness. I know that. If i have to curb my appetite with pills, I will, but not if the weight gain is a metabolic thing...can anything be done? I don't want to die alone!! (just joking, but this is a sensitive topic for me.) At least I had a body to lure people to me even though my baggage drives people back away.
A factual answer minus prostheletizing would be great...Thanks.
