| 5 | paranoid skitsphrinik and bipolar | just tierd jettery | F | 35 | 3mg 2X day | 2/9/2011 | 5 | GAD , Bipolar II | At the initial 3-4 weeks of treatment felt overly tired, almost zombie like but this eventually leveled out. Slight dampening of my libido,and your mood is sometimes somewhat slighty dampened otherwise all is well. | Risperidone is great for free floating anxiety, especially if you've had no luck with other drugs.... It gave me back my life. It is also a very powerful drug and should therefore be used, or started at the lower of dosages possible. I take 0.5, but try 0.25 and see how u go before dismissing its effectiveness. | M | 24 | | 6/12/2005 | 5 | Janssen Sales Rep | All of the side effects listed are associated with any antipsychotic that has any type of dopamine blockade. Blocking dopamine is how you control your symptoms of schizophrenia. However, these side effects are dose dependent...meaning that if you block too much, you experience the movement disorders, lactating, etc. Your doctor needs to lower your dose. | You shouldn't be so quick to speak negatively about this medication.

I weigh 105 lbs. and was given 2.0 mg a day. Then had it cut in half but most of the problems continued only lighter. Except for coginitive loss, GONE. I believe quality of life is hammmered into nothing by this drug. You are in body only and nothing else. Serious reviews need to be compilied by medical docs who are prescribing same. I wonder what the damage will be in 6 years to those that have been taking same? I suspect a high price. All the best,......try lamictal Mom (49) | F | 49 | | 4/23/2008 | 1 | schizophrenia | mood swings, loss memory | | 12/17/2007 | 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 |
