> I've gained weight over the years. It may be from my meds, I don't know. I take Celexa, Prozac, Risperdal and propranolol as needed. I think I've gained about 20 pounds in 5 years.
What doses do you take? Every drug in your combo is likely to cause weight gain, except propranolol.
Prozac boosts both Celexa and Risperdal blood levels; the latter with +75% on average (http://journals.lww.com/psychopharmacology/Abstract/2002/08000/Inhibition_of_Risperidone_Metabolism_by_Fluoxetine.14.aspx). Your Risperdal dose shouldn't be higher than 3,5mg, preferably lower, to avoid extrapyramidal side-effects.
