Researchers are finding out that some anti psychotic drugs have chemicals in them that make people gain weight, especially children. These side effects not only include weight gain, but also other harsh cardiovascular effects. This weight gain can reduce life expectancy by up to 30 years, and some people taking the medicine stop taking it as soon as they realize they are gaining weight.
