risperdal and compulsive eating/drinking

Posted by Yolanda on March 14, 2004, at 1:27:36

I know of three people who take risperdal for various reasons and all of them seem to have developed compulsive eating and/or drinking(any fluid) habits. It's as if they've lost the ability to "feel full". Many of the journal articles list weight gain as a side effect but are rather vague as to what causes the weight gain. When severe impairment of judgement is an issue, as is the case with one of these folks,the initial problems for which they sought treatment in the first place,seem to be compounded by this effect. Has anyone else noticed satiety issues with this drug?
