Research Notes on Antipsychotics Cause Weight Gain in Kids
A 12-week observational study reveals dramatic and rapid weight gain in children who take atypical antipsychotics. The study looked at four of the most common antipsychotic drugs used in children: Risperdal or risperidone, Zyprexa or olanzapine, Abilify or aripiprazole, and Seroquel or quetiapine. While the drugs can be life-saving, the researchers said, the long-term consequences of weight gain and metabolic effects mean "the widespread and increasing use of atypical antipsychotic medications in children and adolescents should be reconsidered."1
