text: i have a question about the drug risperdal? after i had my baby i was losing weight at a steady clip cuz i have a high metabolism, then i went on risperdal for my postpartum psychosis. i gained alot of weight and i have a terrible time losing it. no matter what i do i can't lose weight. i hardly eat and i eat healthy, but i have all this extra weight. i heard that if you gain weight on risperdal u lose it when u go off of it. i was wondering if this was true. i hope so cuz i'm going off of it in a few months. i took risperdal and it almost killed me!  i'm not joking!  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=ajmtbidvfgdofiai8hly054jzkix?qid=1006040401286
