Guest guest Posted August 26, 2000 Report Share Posted August 26, 2000 Someone announced on this list that there are now 2 other drugs similar to Risperdal but without the side effet of weight gain. Could someone let me know what they are? Elie has now gained 35 lbs on Risperdal at only .5mg per day! And he still aggresses when frustrated or impulsively. Pending speaking to the doctor on Monday (when she returns from vacation but also the day Elie begins a new school) I have returned him to his original starting dose of 0.5 mg morning and night and am watching his food intake carefully. Although, I must admit that the INTAKE hadn't so much increased as the activity level slowed. Unless the weight gain is somehow increased without corresponding caloric/metabolic changes????
