I have been taking Risperdal for about 5 months now and I have been gaining weight even though I eat healthy. It is getting out of hand. How can I combat the weight gain?

Yes I do take 2 different meds. I take Zoloft and Wellbutrin. They have worked for a while now. In the past I have gotten immune to the meds I’m on and have to change but when that one stops being… read more
