A great deal of my weight gain has been from risperidone, which, unfortunately, works very well for me. I switched to aripiprazole (Abilify), and I have gained no more weight, but I haven't lost any either.
The same sort of thing has happened to me. I was put on Seroquel to help me sleep. I went from a slim 55kgs to a fat 85kgs in six months. I'm short so it's really noticeable.
I thought if I quit the Seroquel, weight would be lost. But I think being on lithium is stopping that. Haven't gained, haven't lost.
