Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To assess and compare the effectiveness of Aripiprazole and Naltrexone in managing antipsychotic induced weight gain

 

They will be contacted telephonically every week and will follow up in psychiatry OPD,every 2 weeks to observe for medication tolerability and side effects. Pill counting and informant report will be used to ascertain compliance to the prescribed medications. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1.To identify parameters of sociodemographic, metabolic profile, behavioral phenotype, eating behavior associated with response to aripiprazole and naltrexone.
2.To study the Adverse drug reaction profile of Aripiprazole vs Naltrexone in Antipsychotic induced weight gain.
 
They will be contacted telephonically every week and will follow up in psychiatry OPD, every 2 weeks to observe for medication tolerability and side effects. Pill counting and informant report will be used to ascertain compliance to the prescribed medications.

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   The pathophysiology of antipsychotic induced weight gain is poorly understood. Aripiprazole and Naltrexone have two different mechanism of action and theoritically can benefit antipsychotic induced weight gain.This study will help to identify underlying gaps that favour response to a particular molecule thus help in identifying subgroups with a pathophysiological mechanism with indirect theraputic evidence.
