I take Paxil,now on 30mg

Risperdal

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Johannesburg, ZA

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? I don't want to gain more weight and end up having another problem in my life, which could potentially make me even more depressed.
Please help.
