Can antipsychotic medications cause Type 2 Diabetes?
  Probably. Drugs can cause weight gain - why not?
  No, I doubt it.
  Wait! I'm taking one of these medications!

I've heard a lot about it, but I was on Zyprexa for quite a while and didn't have any problems.

I've heard a lot about that. I'm off Seroquel now, so I can breathe a little easier.

Oh oh oh I know! *reads tons on the a-typical anti-psychotics*
They raise bloodsugar levles, and cause weight gain.

Dido seroquel does that. I take 400mgs of it myself .But as long as you keep and eye on that and if you are a couple pounds overweight take a salsa class or something to take those few pounds off. And if when you get depressed you gain weight even more so

Yes, I'm pretty sure it causes diabetes. I mean Ive been on .5 mg of risperdol (or however you spell it, and its a low dosage because it was prescribed..like two days ago). And flipper! I've been sluggin down water and food like no other.

In most cases it doesn't make you like that so quickly. Its more likely its triggering an episode *shudders*
