weight gain from her medications? Alternatives you've tried?

[Guest guest]

Hi! My sweet 16 year old daughter has Aspergers and OCD/Worrying. She

started to gain weight at the beginning of this year and now is about

35 pounds or so heavier than she was!

She currently takes: Clonazepam 15 mg -an anti-anxiety drug, Abilify 10

mg -an anti-Psychotic used off-label to help stabilize her moods, and

Lexapro 60 mg. -a SSRI for her OCD.

Has anyone used any of these drugs resulting in a big appetite -desire

to eat, and thus weight gain?

Are there any other drugs in these 3 classes of drugs (anti-anxiety,

anti-Psychotic, and SSRI) that didn't result in increased desire to eat

and subsequent weight gain?

All comments are welcome! Thank you! Irene
