Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Sam has been on risperidol for 3 years now - she did at one point gain some weight and was somewhat chunky in the middle which often happens and maybe linked with insulin resistance. We heard of that with Zyprexa and diabetes. I started Sam on a higher protein diet and adopted some of Elaine Gottisheils - Restricted carbohydrate diet but we don't follow it strictly and it helped her belly has disappeared and I believe there is some connection between these kids abilities to break down carbs and their behavior. Sam's behavior worsens with high carbos. I think risperidol may make them carb crave too. Jeneane HOuston, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
