The primary aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy of metformin and topiramate on second-generation antipsychotic-induced obesity. The secondary domain we look at is the adverse effects of both drugs. The investigators hypothesize that metformin and topiramate are effective in treating obesity induced by second-generation antipsychotics.
