It is possible to lose weight while on Risperidone. I'm on it, and a bunch of other meds that have weight gain as a side effect.

I've been heavy all my adult weight and when I first went on meds, I gained weight but then eventually stabilized and stopped gaining.

About 18 months ago, I decided I wasn't happy with my weight and so went to a registered dietician. We put together a food plan for me, that really worked. I lost 30 lbs over about a 6 month period and kept the weight off.


Now I've decided that I want to lose more, so I'm going back to see her.
