I'm sorry but I have to disagree completely with you & justme on this one...

Over the course of 3 months on Risperidone I put on 20lbs despite eating EXACTLY the same amount & exercising regularly.

Sure the inactivity & unhealthy eating habits play a role in weight gain on APs but there are other mechanisms at work that make you more prone to putting on weight in the first place.
