Risperdal??!

Question: my doctor just put me on this for sleep, i was on it before and gained weight, and thats even one of the side effects im already overweight, it makes u really hungry, so my question is if i dont give in everytime im hungry and eat normal/healthly and get a good work out 4 times a week will it still effect my weight?

I am on 6 mg of Risperdal a day. I take it to sleep and to keep from having hallucinations having Bipolar II.
I workout 2-3 times a week on the Select Tech BowFlex with my husband. I don't believe it should affect your weight providing you stay working out 4 times a week to stay physically fit. How many mg did your doctor put you on for the Risperdal??

OK so this may be a side effect of the drug but surely it cant make that much of a difference. i would say that if it helps you to sleep then you will be able to exercise more effectively and could work in your favour to help you to loose weight.
