I just want to ask how many gained weight on this medicine and how many lost weight on it because I’m eating fairly normal and I gained so much weight on seroquel

I have a friend on rispirodone and she has gained a lot of weight, mainly because it makes her feel very hungry all the time so she eats a lot more than she did before. But everyone is different. I am on quietiapine and that is supposed to make you put on weight but it doesn't in my case. I am still the same weight as usual though I don't eat a huge amount as I don't get that hungry. A couple of small meals a day fills my stomach nicely.

Not what you're looking for?
