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.
Me too. I gained 60 pounds on Geodon and then went right into another 40 pounds gained on Abilify. I stopped Abilify a year ago and have lost 34 pounds, without doing anything different diet/exercise wise. The meds feck you up, no doubt about it. Haldol is what I'm on now, and it is not making me gain, thank goodness.
