A member asked:
Will risperidone make me gain weight? please help me docs!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: While it is not certain, risperidone and just about all second generation antipsychotics (zyprexa, seroquel, clozapine) all have weight gain as a common side effect. Abilify and geodon (ziprasidone) less so.
