Will taking 100mg on zoloft (sertraline) cause me to gain weight? will risperidone cause me to gain weight? is it possible to not take medications with bipolar?

Yes: Both medications could cause weight gain. Bipolar would need rx but this is to be determined by treating md.

Both can: Bipolar disorder is a serious medical/psychiatric illness and needs to be treated. Consequences of poor treatment or no treatment are devastating; loss of brain cells, poor functioning in life, lower quality of life and rapid cycling of the disorder. Both zoloft (sertraline) and Risperdal you mentioned have weight as side effects more so with Risperdal than zoloft (sertraline).

Bipolar affective D/: Is a chronic remittent illness and require ongoing treatment . All psych medications can cause wt gain but some r less than other. Talk with u psychiatrist.
