I was on risperdal for 6 months while I was in college. I gained 60 pounds in that time. I wasn't depressed, but being too hungry to care wasn't a step up. It would take me getting thirds of proper entrees in the dining hall to feel full. Don't get me wrong, a little extra weight wouldn't have bothered me. Gaining sixty pounds in six months, yet still feeling hungry all the time and being thrown within a hair's breadth of type 2 diabetes (Something that seems to always happen when I'm on AP meds, weight gain or not.) definitely did.

I guess this is my long winded way of saying, "I feel ya!"
