Hi back - Andrew is not on the two drugs you mention, which are
antipsychotic ones, but he is on one of the latest ones called Risperdal
(Risperidone) (used primarily to treat schitzophrenia).  One of the listed
side effects is weight gain and Andrew has gained about 7 kg since being on
it.  Perhaps this is common to aps drugs as I have two very good friends
with schitzophrenia and know several other people who have it.  All of them
are large people.

Just a thought
Christine
