Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.
