| 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 | 3 | Schizophrenia | Gained 40 lbs. Completely blank. I feel like I have no personality. I can't do art. I cant feel anything. It's an absolute God send to not hear the voices because they are really scary, I felt and believe(d?) That I could hear into hell and I was always trying to run from them, this went on for 4 years until I was literally sleeping on the sidewalks in Las Vegas without anyone within 1000 miles who even knew my name. So for me taking the voices away was a huge relief. I'm now back to my home town and living with family but I still struggle greatly and can't feel any peace because I'm not me, I can't express myself, I feel empty, void, blank. I lowered myself down to 1mg last week and the voices have came back but much quieter and not as scary but I'm still blank with zero personality. Now I'm depressed as hell because I used to be very personable with lots of friends wherever I went. I can't help but feel like this is a clear sign that the voices have defeated me and that probably means hellfire and brimstone for eternity is inevitable. Also caused strange, jerky and illogical, and unnecessary movements. It takes more effort and more movements to carry out an action so I look like a tweaker. I have zero confidence in myself and I feel like the magic that was in me has died. I am praying that quitting the medication will bring my personality back but after reading other reviews it seems like others were changed forever and that is very depressing to me. I should have just stay | 35 | 6 months 2 mg 1X day | 9/13/2020 | 4 | Autism, extreme anger | Increased Periods of calm. Have been advised to increase from 2mg to 3mg and seen a marked change--fatigue, headaches, weakness in limbs, loss of joy. | M | 18 | 2 years 3mg 1X day | 9/1/2020 | 3 | schizophrenia | no side effect | ok , stable . | M | 30 | 2 years 4 mg 1X day | 8/10/2020 | 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 | 2 | schizophrenia | extrapyramidale , weight gain , weaknees , sedation , skin problems and more . | is little effective but good . | M | 31 | 10 years 5 | 1/2/2020 | 5 | Son 10 years/ Autism, Self Injury | "Weight Gain!" It was very welcomed and needed because of food adversions and he was very thin. Dry Mouth. Sometimes drooled or had a pocket of saliva in his mouth that ran out. This may have been a Behavior? One sad thing is a person can top out of the drug amounts and I tried a few add on Medications but nothing worked as well so take the strength slow and once a good place is found stay there for as long as possible before upping the dosage! There is a limit to the amount allowed to use and then an add-on has to be added. I know there are always new drugs to try but who wants to keep trying different ones and wasting time with an unhappy autistic child? | Risperdal changed our lives in a positive way with our autistic son who was self injurious, aggressive, has food adversions, hid under under tables or blankets, and didn't make eye contact with teachers or therapists. After a few months of taking only Risperdal liquid he broke out of his shell/ became aware and began to learn! Aggression stopped! He still scratched himself but not bloody! His school noticed the possitive change and other parents asked me what he was taking because the changes were so noticable. | M | 15 | 7 years Variable | 12/30/2019 | 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 | 2 | schizophrenia | I don't know if it is risperidone that is making me to menstruate for more than 3weeks | Also I can be Moody at times | F | 26 | 2 years 2mg | 9/1/2019 | 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.
