Since I started risperdal on 8/4/25 I’ve gained like 5+ pounds! You wouldn’t believe my bmi now even if I could post it!

That’s too bad. Some meds are just no good for weight gain. Sorry to hear you have a high bmi. That sucks for sure.

Well I’m not going to see doctor “now” anytime soon, but this is the heaviest I think I’ve ever been.

The problem is that last month I had a pulmonary embolism which made me EXHAUSTED so I slept a lot. That went on for a month. Then the clot went away and a couple weeks later I couldn’t sleep at all and was having psychosis pretty bad. Enter the risperdal. Now I’m sleeping just fine- not too much or to little but gained a few pounds.

Hi moose,
sorry about the weight gain, glad that you are sleeping that is a blessing in my opinion!
Try to follow a low carb high protein diet.

It's good that you've got your sleep under wraps.

Yeah I was up for four hours in the wee hours of the night lots of nights this past week. Last night I took my new dose of 600 Gabapentin instead of the 300 I had been taking and was only up for less than half an hour around 2:00 a.m. then didn’t wake up until 8:30. Dang! I missed my 7 a.m. morning meds! Running to take those! My blood thinner needs to be taken punctually.
