| 5 | paranoid schizophrenia | none | This medicine has been a lifesaver for me, has diminished the voices, and my anxiety and paranoia has decreased also. I don't know where I would be without this medicine. I have only been on it for 2 months, and I continue to get better each day. | F | 8 weeks | 10/27/2007 | 4 | psychotic delusions | Forgetfullness, breast growth, weight gain, slowness, extreme bouts of anxiety | I switched from Abilify to Risperdal. I feel like it has made me dumber, but it is better than being on Abilify for me, which gave me the shakes. It was worse than the shakes, actually. It was frightful akasthasia and I couldn't stand being in one place for very long. I can definitely feel how much dumber I am on Risperdal. But it's worth it. | M | 4 months | 10/29/2008 | 4 | znxiety | none | 28 days | 12/31/2006 | 3 | | 4/2/2004 | 3 | yes | WEIGHT GAIN!!!!! | 3 months | 4/7/2005 | 3 | Schizophrenia-BiPolar | Very tired when I first started taking it. If I got up at night to use the bathroom, just standing made me feel sick to my stomach so I had to hurry to lay back down. Seroquel did the same thing to me. Now, almost a month later, no problems at all | I dont really see a change from taking this. Maybe its there or maybe my symptoms would be worse with out it, I dont know. I see and hear shit constantly just like before. No direct orders though from auditory hallucinations. What I like is I feel no side effects anymore and its been less than a month. | M | 20 days | 8/14/2009 | 2 | psychotic behavior | I got a sharp, blinding, piercing, pain over both eyes,went to bed, woke up continuously thirsty but couldnt quench the thirst. could only stumble to the sink and drink till it hurt and crawl back in bed, or on the floor. then god forbid the drink goes in, its gotta go out! miserable night...this was in the mental ward and it didnt wear off till dinner time. then bed time they tell me to take it again , that I will get used to it! & I'm nuts? | Ok, so I had to take it three nights in a row it was the same all three nights. I will NEVER take again it if I have a choice. | F | 3 times | 3/9/2001 | 1 | Schizophrenia | Took only one 3 mg pill. Severe acathisia (could not sit still for a min), thight chest, brutal palpitations, feelings of doom and death, vision problems (like I was looking through plastic wrap), loss of peripheral vision, nearsightedness, blurred vision | Took more than a week to get back to normal. I would not wish this to anyone! | M | 1 days 3 mg 1X day | 4/4/2012 | 1 | Auditory hallucinations | Increased auditory hallucinations, not able to sleep, then chest pains | M | 4 days | 8/18/2012 | 1 | This website will sensor your opinion | F | 4 years | 1/15/2005 | 1 | n/a | Does anyone get their sex drive back after taking this poison...Im talking in the range of 3mg or more for a couple months can that result in permanent impotence for life? | Does anyone get their sex drive back after taking this poison...Im talking in the range of 3mg or more for a couple months can that result in permanent impotence for life? | M | 3 months | 6/27/2007 | 1 | schizophrenia | mood swings, loss memory | | 12/17/2007 | 1 | BIPOLAR/SCHIZOEFFTIVE AND MORE... | WEIGHT GAIN. TIREDNESS, LETHARGIC, AGITATED, MORE DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY. | GET OFF THIS MED IF YOU'RE HAVING SAME MORE SIDE AFFECTS. MAJOR CONCERN WAS WEIGHT GAIN, HUNGRY ALL THE TIME, FELT MORE DEPRESSED AND ANXIOUS. | M | 12 months | 5/3/2008 | 1 | OCD | Horrible weight gain. I was extremely skinny and never had to worry about weight. I was very thin and then I took the pill and it damaged my metabolism and caused my blood sugar to be messed up. I was extremely skinny my whole life before taking the pill, then I took the pill and seven years later I still have to do extreme exercise and dieting to get rid of the extra weight. This pill ruined my life and I'm still trying to get my thin body back seven years later. | This pill ruined my life. I was very skinny and never had to worry about weight, I was the most thin person in school. I took the pill and it caused a lot of weight gain and damaged my metabolism and blood sugar level. Seven years later I still have to do extreme exercise and dieting, over 1 hour of treadmill per day to lose all the extra weight. This pill completely ruined my life. Horrible, horrible pill. Doesn't help that the perosn who gave it to me lied about the side effects. | | 9/13/2008 | 1 | doctor recommened | Those suffering from side effects of the drug please read!!! In order to heal from psychological injuries one should put their faith in a higher power. One should pray and meditate and change their focus away from themselves in order for healing to begin. An important ingredient is that you must have courage that you will get better. Do not let the constant negativity (which may be reinforced by the internet and other discouraging sources that you refer to) override your path to positivity and remember the one who is most critical and most negative about yourself is yourself. Hopefully these words will set a new course in the road to your full recovery. Its easy for someone to say it but I experienced it. This is my recipe for full recovery. Don't forget this recipe can be adjusted for your own individual needs. Good luck! | M | | 9/24/2009 | 1 | | 10/1/2009 | 1 | Severe depression and anxiety | The first time I had severe akethesia, I could not sit down in the evenings...so I couldn't sleep. it was terrible. When I was prescribed it 5 or so years later, I started lactating. The worst medication I have ever been on. | F | 1X day | 10/2/2014 | 1 | Death o | Over medicated | 1 days | 6/21/2015 | 1 | F u risperdal | 9 days | 6/3/2016 | 1 | """Psychosis""" | DONT YOU DARE EVER TAKE A PSYCHOTIC ALL PSYCHIATRISTS ARE LOONEY AND ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY THEY GIVE 0 SHITS ABOUT YOUR WELLBEING AND YOU WILL BE A SHELL OF A PERSON AFTER TAKING ANY PSYCHOTICS OR PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS | in 2013 - 2014 I was on small doses of zyprexa for a short amount of time, Zoloft, and Xanax. Those I would take as needed and it didn't fuck me up too bad. Then in 2015 they started pulling out the antipsychotics invega, cogentin, risperdone. I got my invega shot and then switched to seroquel so I wouldn't have to get monthly shots, I gained 40 pounds in 6 months and lost any happiness I had ever had. I no longer find joy in things that used to make me happy. Then in 2016 they put me on abilify and ambien, I was raped in my sleep while passed out on ambien (by a "health care professional" at the rehab center I was staying at in a room alone (I was 21 he was about 65 BLECK) I discontinued as soon as they let me out (they force you to take these to get out of the hospital and I only continued seroquel for 6 months because the stupid bitch promised me disability if I continued my meds.... Then the stupid bitch up and left town and never filled out my disability claim so I am still unemployed and poor) then they made me follow up with another doctor that was completely terrible and she kept telling me all this pointless shit I didn't fucking care about and she put me on this worthless Ned called hydroxyline. Now I have about 300mg of Zoloft, 20mg of risperdone, and 850mg of hydroxyline left over and I'm wondering if I swallow them all will I die instantaneously? | F | 1 months 2 MG | 10/20/2016 |
