Im having a hard time losing weight on risperidone but lost a lot of weight when I was on Abilify.
But I was also on a strict low carb high protein diet.

I can’t lose weight because my prolactin levels are still high, I barely ate for a month and didn’t lose a gram…

I’m on Abilify injections, with Haldol as a PRN now, and I have recently been losing weight. I’m down 13 pounds in the past two months. My goal is to lose another 17 pounds.

My latest attempt is tracking and limiting sodium to about 2500 mg a day. Sodium seems to be such a huge appetite stimulant to me and I seem to start a binge if I eat something salty (curse you Frito-Lay lol)
I am also trying to curb my polydipsia (too many Double Big Gulps at 7-11 is a big part of the problem)
So far my systolic bp is going down in the morning and I think I will lose more weight eventually. Definitely feel less tense during the day with having lower bp.
(Been on 3mg Risperdal for 15+ years)
