Anti-Psychotic drug induced weight gain is a very common occurrence, especially in those taking Zyprexa ( OLANZAPINE ) and Risperdal ( RISPERIDONE ) (1) (2) ...
Anti-histamine effects are a huge contributing factor in anti-psychotic induced weight gain(3) (4) (5), and the anti-serotonin property (specifically the 2C antagonist effects) also play a huge role(5). Belviq ( LORCASERIN ) works as a direct opposite to this effect, acting instead as a serotonin 2C agonist(6). However, during anti-psychotic treatment, the effects of serotonin agonists will be blocked or minimized in most cases.

Can Belviq help anti-psychotic induced weight gain?
Most likely, No.
What to use instead?
Use a histamine H3 antagonist like betahistine (7) or KUTAJ (8) (9) extract to counter weight gain and some of the sedation of antipsychotic drugs.
Betahistine can be purchased here, it is legal and not a controlled substance anywhere. > http://www.internationaldrugmart.com/betahistine.shtml
Hollarhena (KUTAJ) can be purchased below.
Additionally, ginkgo biloba can be used to minimize prolactin increases (10) (11) which may be caused by anti-psychotic drugs which (prolactin) may also lead to weight gain, ginkgo is also very synergistic with KUTAJ and betahistine(12)(13)(14).
