 1  I was in psychosis. I think it worsened my psychosis. It was a traumatic experience. I forgive the people who gave it to me. I just do not want others to go through what I went through. I thank the Lord Jesus that He was with me and that He helps me deal with those memories. He has saved my soul and I will see Him soon when He comes back to earth! Maranatha. This medication should not be court forced on people. I was not able to research what is in this drug and what the side effects are before being injected. F 29 2 weeks

 3  bipolar manic a little dry mouth, some tensing of the right foot Turns me more into a vulcan...not a good thing, though. Thoughts are still a little racy and I have long discussions about esoteric subjects with the girlfriend (like math, which is not good for things like programming which require more philosophical and out-of-the-box thinking). Paranoid thoughts can be better countered through technical speak and empirical analysis with a psychiatrist. This drug doesn't help me much with that. M 30 1 days

Patient History
 2  bipolar sleepiness, face around moustache and chin very red, dry, and irritated especially after shaving. Had no will to have sex and could not get a boner if i tried. Not enough reduction of BP symptoms. Isn't working very well for me. I had to come off Risperdal because it stopped working after a year and now a couple years later i'm back on this which is some sort of isolated form of risperdal. I started on 3mg which wasn't "doing anything" to 6mg which sedated me and still didn't take away my horrible dreams or let me sleep which is one of the things my BP does to me. I am back on 3mg as of 2 weeks ago and am going to ask my MD this week about stopping due to being tired, boner problem, and face irritation. M 30 45 days

 1  BP-Voices This medication was likely responsible for the deepest depression I have ever felt. I can't say this for sure, but the time frames correlate pretty well. What's the point of remarketing a drug that is a downstream metabolite of another drug (Risperdal). Maybe I should add a hydroxyl group to some medication and call it my own. M 30 2 months

I dont know what the agenda or motive is behind prescribing this awful drug, but they need to STOP! I was way better off before taking this awful drug. Since taking this drug i have had EXCRUCIATING PAIN in my abdomin/anus/intestines, the pain is so bad it makes me cry like a baby and im a 30 year old man. I have a friend who has the same problem, hes had to call the ambulance. This drug, especially when injected, will make you dry and enflammed. Your intestines will feel like you are being cut in the inside. Awful pain. This company HAS A MAJOR LAWSUIT comming their way, them and the awful psychiatrists who prescribe this CRAP! They are violating human and constitutional RIGHTS. This crap needs to be taken IFF THE MARKET, banned, it is crap, their are 0 benefits from taking this drug, take my word for it.

 1  wanted to I tried one pill and my body would not stop burning. From my head to my feet. It was so weird I don't know how to explain it. It lasted a week. I thought I was going to die. It was burning on my head so I always kept cold pack on it. I had to be in the cold. I turned the air on and it was like fridge in my room. It went away but I feel wore out every day now. Does anyone know what it was? I was going to go to the doctor but had no money. M 30 1 days
