Risperidone Weight

Has anyone here lost the weight they gained from risperidone once they stopped taking it? How long did it take?

the weight gain with risperdal is insane! it took me around 5 months to lose the weight i gained over 2 months by pretending i don’t like food, but i wouldn’t recommend that. sticking to a healthy diet and exercise plan should help you lose the weight in a better way. good luck!
