| 1 | Misdignosed psychosis | Cognitive impairement. | Do not take. Danger of death. Sue the doctor he prescribes this neurotoxin for a reason other than CHARACTERIZED schizophrenia. | M | 23 | 3 months 3 mg 1X day | 12/22/2022 | 1 | Depression, anxiety | Weight gain (10 kg), felt myself like zombie, empty head. It was difficult to walk, wanted to sleep all the time, appetite increased greatly, blood test indicators deteriorated, emotions disappeared, a feeling of emptiness inside, salivation appeared, libido became weak. It must be illegal! | I felt bad after this drug, but I found ways that helped me get better. Anyone who needs help, you can write to me, I will help you. Two months after the withdrawal of the drug, my emotions, libido, and feelings returned. My weight has also become normal. There are still some strange feelings a little bit, but every day it gets better. The recovery methods that I use help me. | M | 34 | 1 months 1-4 Mg 1X day | 9/19/2022 | 1 | sexually harassed | forgot to bathe. hard to do anything including paying bills or cleaning home.Chomping and grinding teeth. Extremely accident prone. Fell down stairs. Could not drive. Gained 70 lbs. Caused episodes of rage. Muscles so weak that I became incontinent and my joints dislocated. Began eating scabs. Lost joy. | I went to seek counseling at Washington County Mental Health Services in Vermont, because I had just moved there and was being sexually harassed by some locals. The nurse practitioner, Anne B, told me that I must be delusional or lying because "no man would risk his good job as a garbage man" being offensive to a woman. Ever heard of #metoo? So she lied and said they were antidepressants, and poisoned me into a stupor based on her privileged ignorance. These drugs help the misogynists enable sexual predators, and disable their victims. | F | 59 | 6 months 100 mg 1X day | 5/9/2022 | 1 | Misdiagnosed collapsed lung | Burning deep in hyper thalamus that destroyed happiness Center, a common phenomenon according to the nurse. | Why the F would anyone prescribe this. I understood the junkies wanting to buy it off me after I tried it but it’s not worth it. Intensive care 21 days I showed no symptoms or reasons to be on risperidone or olanzapine whatever and was weened off..happiness has not returned. | M | 59 | 14 days 4 | 9/12/2021 | 1 | Insomnia | Lost ability to sleep (wrecked sleep cicle), cant feel pleasure or excitation, brain fog, feel internal pressure on the brain. | Stay away from this drug, its a serious threat. 1mg can knock out a 60 kg adult. | M | 43 | 3 weeks 1 1X day | 7/30/2021 | 1 | Depression | I gained 30 lbs without changing my diet, my depression became physical sore muscles and joints, and I lost all motivation to live. | This drug is bad news, please stay away from it. | F | 26 | 6 months 2.5 1X day | 5/30/2021 | 1 | Adjunctive to lithium | Terrible akathsia rocking pacing total state of panic | M | 30 | 30 days 2mg twice 2X day | 5/20/2021 | 1 | Misdiagnosed bipolar/ psychosis | I felt myself turn into a zombie. Felt as if I had brain damage. No creativity. | I want to give words of hope that I myself recovered and got joy, spirituality, intellect and horniness back!! It just takes a while for the brain to repair - in my case 3 years after totally stopping. Hang in there! I was then properly diagnosed with depression and take an antidepressant (Cipramil/Celexa). If you've taken an antipsychotic which you believe has damaged you, stop as safe as you can and let your brain repair. It's a time thing and a psych nurse I know totally confirmed it. | F | 53 | 2 weeks 2mg 1X day | 5/12/2021 | 1 | was misdiagnozed, was forced to | extremely strong anxiety, almost total apathy, sense or worthlessness and hopelesness, loss of motivation, no joy, was sleeping almost 24/7, agitation, acathisia, hormonal abnormalities | Nowadays I am doing good. I am working full time and feeling rather happy with my life. I could never have gotten where I am today if I hadn't been able to get out of the psychiatric system, where my crises caused by traumatic events in my life was interpreted as psychotic illness and I was forced to take antipsychotics and other psychiatric drugs etc. I started to recover when I got out of the psychiatric system and was able to process through by myself what had caused my crises in the first place. It has taken me years to recover emotionally from how I was mistreated in the psychiatric system and it's still a work in process. | F | 39 | 14 months injection 1X O | 10/7/2020 | 1 | psychosis,schizophrenia | Voices, hallucinations, paranoia, loss of attention span, tiredness, dizziness, loss of appetite. | Never heard voices until I started taking risperidone for a couple of years. My psychosis and schizophrenia was induced by my meds that were originally for just anxiety and depression but I'm off all my meds now and feel much more stable. | M | 28 | 3 years 3mg 2X day | 9/29/2020 | 1 | Bipolar | Memory problems, short breath, became very tired, low sexual feelings, low semen count, difficulty urinating, difficulty taking decisions, weird muscle movements | I hope if I never took this medicine, now I'm a worthless person | M | 17 | 2 years 15g | 2/23/2020 | 1 | Due to psychosis | I am always lying down. I was extremely tired and felt lethargic when I was put on 6 mg. It made me feel horribly groggy every morning insomuch as I am still unable to shave till now at 2 mg. My beard gets longer and longer. It is as though I am a homeless man who can’t afford a razor. This medicine is hell. I had very dark thoughts on it and I was constantly out of energy. It made me recollect my horrible past mistakes, and I became so weak, lazy and demotivated that I didn’t want to get out of the house. I’m still nervous when anyone asks me to come for a meal. I experienced loss of my imagination and creativity. I felt better with the hallucinations. | Yes, it does remove hallucinations but that’s besides the point when you are feeling so horrible inside that you wonder whether or not the hallucinations were better and turns out you probably were better with them. Risperidone affords one a terrible feeling of homelessness. It gives a scary feeling even though it works at one level to remove hallucinations. The side effects of this medicine are not worth experiencing if you feel happy with your emotions, which it will strip you off when you’re on it. I wonder how long it will take for it to get out of my system. In the meantime, enjoy Pacitane tablets if you’re experiencing the uncomfortable feeling it gives. | M | 28 | 8 months 6 to 2mg | 1/16/2020 | 1 | Misdiagnosis | Tremor, restlessness, muscle twitching, libido decreased, depression, increased anxiety, apathy, fatigue, weight increased (+70lbs), prediabetes, gynecomastia | Poison | M | 25 | 3 years 1 1X day | 1/6/2020 | 1 | Substance induced paranoia | Slured speech, fatigue all the time, dont want to speak to anybody, emptiness, depression, im not happy like i used to be | I was energetic person and i had lots of friends and social life and i was a succesful person but since i started this medication all this has changed im taking 1 mg and im about to quit risperdal but im afraid i dont go back once i stop taking it | M | 26 | 9 months 1mg | 12/22/2019 | 1 | Bipolar. Mixed episodes. Intrusive thoughts | Oh my. This one is not for me. I didn’t know that so many side effects could be present at once. I even had cramping in arches. Random! Pacing and marching were uncontrollable throughout the day. Racing thoughts were awful. | This drug is highly effective in allowing me to feel worse. I took it to see about ridding myself of some heavy doses of anxiety, worry and increased distressing thoughts. 5 days is all I could take of this medication. Terrifying med for me | 48 | 7 days | 12/10/2019 | 1 | Psychosis | Horrific tooth pain! | Please do not take this of your teeth are in bad shape...it will make it worse. Horrible pain. Ibuprofen and Tylenol will not fix it. Random side affect, I know, but if I can help someone it’s worth it. | F | 35 | 6 months .5 | 12/5/2019 | 1 | Forced Drugging | Penis shrink, Weight gain, Apathy, Sedation, Blur vision, Weakness, Nervous, Blood flow problems, Heart issues, Hormone changes, Lack of feelings, Numb genitals, Breast growth slightly, Pain, Feet tingling pain | This poison causes penis shrinkage to a lot of men and should be taken off the market look at the amount of drug scandals and court cases that go on in UK doctors do not even believe the penis shrink side effect yet so many more men come forward about this effect its pure evil to prescribe a man this awful drug it also has no help what so ever on mental health all it is to men is a castration agent and a chemical lobotomy evil nazi drug please share this review and spread the word that Risperdal and Risperidone and Consta are evil and made by satan himself the evil big pharma people who think even children should be given this medication this is pure and utter criminal! | M | 28 | 3 months 4 | 11/15/2019 | 1 | Misdiagnosed with schizophrenia | Sexual dysfunction, lowered stamina, muscles are not as capable as they used to be (the drug simply sedated me to the point where i have a hard time becoming stronger), hard time laughing at things i find funny, hard time feeling happy with things that makes me happy, i have less respect for people than ever before (more apathetic) and cope more often than necessary (my coping mechanism is easily triggered more often, causing me to do things I don’t want to do at the time). | I was forced to take this at 17, now i am 18 and keep in mind, this is only some of the problems i have, due to me taking this drug. | M | 18 | 6 weeks Forgot | 11/13/2019 | 1 | To get f-d up | F- that sh*t legalize weed | F- pills | 5 weeks 2 | 9/26/2019 | 1 | Drug induced psychosis | Loss of sex drive, inability to orgasm, loss of period, vaginal dryness, emotional flatness, loss of pleasure, timidness, not wanting to talk to others, moving slow, weight gain, trouble falling asleep, dozing off at random times, inability to laugh at things that are funny or cry at sad things | The entire time I took risperidone my periods were gone. I stopped taking the injections and my period is finally coming back even though it's irregular and short. This drug and people who prescribe it are evil.
