"i have been on risnia/risperdal for a few years now. currently on a dosage of 2mg of the generic risnia. as an answer to bipolar disorder with psychotic features this drug works wonders and i have been without relapse for 3 years now. my biggest frustration however is the weight gain. i have put on 8 kg during this time and i eat like a bird. i have tried a number of diets and exercise 3-4 times per week.  my psychiatrist mentioned slightly decreasing the dosage every second day and see if that helps. i will try this as soon as i get a new script with 1mg pills. can anyone recommend a good alternative?"
