Smprz84 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Which has less weight gain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderful.Cheese Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I've never taken haldol but I did not gain any weight from risperdal. It was weight neutral for me. But YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I didn't gain any weight on Haldol. But Risperdal can cause weight gain in some people, you're more likely to gain weight on risperdal than on haldol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smprz84 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Thanks, I can't handle these voices anymore and have tried Seroquel, Latuda, zyprexa, and now risperdal. I am just concerned about my heart and my wieght on these anti psychotics they are toxic. A friend of mine takes Haldol and he is skinny, so I am wondering if I should try that and how much to get rid of these annoying voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgetmenot220 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I gained and was a zombie on risperdal, no side effects on haldol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Risperdal was weight neutral for me. You should wait and see if your weight actually does change. As you can see, weight gain doesn't happen for everyone. So you might as well see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellifluous Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I've not gained weight on either, but ultimately risperdal had more side effects for me. I'm currently on the haldol depot still and not putting on weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt07 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I didn't gain any weight on Risperdal. I've gained on Abilify though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophrenic_Sanity Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I didn't gain weight on either of these. I much prefer Haldol though(it's what I'm taking now), Risperdal had me so sedated I was sleeping 20 hours a day and barely awake for the other four hours.

Smprz84 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Do you get anxiety with Haldol. I have noticed since I been taking it I have a more restless feeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesecake Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I gained weight on risperidone and have just changed to a haldol depot but so far the weight has not dropped off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
