| 3 | Bi-polar Disorder | weight gain, insomnia (lead to irritability), decreased sex drive, loss of motivation (could have been from mood stabilizers i was on at the time) personality change | It works to control rage-full out bursts FACT but honestly if you have to get levels for any medication to make sure its not KILLING your kidneys or liver or anything else you have to make sure that the trade off is worth it... MOST PSYCH MEDS are POISON and that is a FACT if anyone denies that to you they are LYING to your face.. they'll probably tell you you're paranoid and try to diagnose you again or try to shove more pills in you... think about it.. if any of you have been to a hospital chances are you know what i mean when i say that most of the doctors and staff don't give a fuck about you... so why would they want you to get actual help.. it would be easier to just zombify us and kill us off slowly i mean obviously were fucked up or at least not "normal" (what ever that is) ..why would they want us reproducing and poisoning there world and corrupting there children..... YOU KNOW THAT MAKES SENSE ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT CURE A MENTAL ILLNESS... THEY USED TO LOBOTOMIZE PEOPLE LIKE US (google "frontal lobe lobotomy and its uses in psychiatric patients') HENCE the POISON.. now some of you will read this and think "wow this dude is crazy or paranoid"THEN FUCK YOU!!! DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING ANYONE GIVES YOU WITH OUT DOING YOUR RESEARCH FIRST.. with all that said the only "medication" that works for me is MARIJUANA I've been smoking 4 times a day everyday and i haven't had a bi-polar episode in a full year, i can't say this will help fo | M | 21 | 4 years 3mg 2X day | 10/26/2011 | 1 | schziophrenia | So it looks like both risperidone and olanzapine our both cheap generic pills that will help both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It can't get better then that, besides the side effects are terrible for both of these. | I'm glad there both generic, there's nothing like having a cheap medicine. It's about time. | M | 35 | 6 months 2mg 1X day | 10/26/2011 | 5 | bi polar | weight gain,decreased sex drive,sleep more. | this drug gave me my life back,was out of touch with reality.almost lost my family,had crazy thoughts,thought house was bugged & people were wearing masks,& trying to kill me, almost killed people,this drug saved me. | M | 49 | 1 years 30 mg 1X day | 10/25/2011 | 5 | Schizophrenia | Resperidal has helped me alot. I was having delusions and ended up in the hospital(voluntarily). They put me on resperidal and now I am able to work and go to school. This medication has helped me alot. Alot of people on this message board dislike this medication and say bad things about it. But I urge anyone reading this to give this or any other medication a chance as it has the potential to improve your life for the better. | M | 21 | 2 years 30mg 1X O | 10/23/2011 | 5 | I had severe memory problems and thinking problems after I started to take this medication. This medication caused me permanant brain damage. I was a A student now I am a F to a D- student see the difference. | This medication is awful | M | 21 | 1 years 50 Mg 3X M | 10/19/2011 | 1 | Anxiety | Lost short term memory and higher cognitive functioning, apathy and emotional flatness, slept all day while on it, terrible constipation, felt like I was in a cage seperated from others, could not sit and talk to patients in the hospital setting or participate in therapeutic groups. | I was put on Risperdal (1mg then up to 2mg) for anxiety and depression along with 20mg Paxil (Aropax to us Aussies) and various benzos for 11 days while an inpatient of a psych clinic (voluntary admission) When I got out I decided I didn't have too much faith in the doctor and stopped everything. I had stoppped antidepressants and benzos before and never had bad effects so I knew it was the Risperdal. I experienced cognitive deficits, apathy even towards loved family members, mental fog, chronic depersonalization (freaked me out to look in the mirror) and a processing disorder where music or television stressed and burdened my brain. At first I thought it was withdrawal but as the weeks went by realized that my brain had been damaged by what is a small dose for only 11 days. I thought about suicide. Well, 11 weeks after the last dose in the hospital I have felt my brain come back into line. Got my short term memory back after one month, started feeling emotions and empathy etc after two months and now after nearly three months my brain its usual self. Please, NEVER take this drug for anything other than the most serious delusions/hallucinations if you are scizophrenic and then try for another antipsychotic! I had nearly 3 months of hell wondering if I'd get my former self back. If in hospital and being pressured just LIE and say that you are either pre-diabetic or have an irregular heart beat as this drug can't be prescribed for people with these conditions. Say you have both | F | 43 | 11 days 1 to 2 mg 1X day | 9/18/2011 | 1 | Insomnia/Headaches | Brain dead zombie effects. I was given this junk wrongly for Insomnia by a scum bag Psychiatrist.All I wanted was a hard and fast acting drug to knock me out quickly;Instead I was given this.I took it once - never again.Now trying to sue them for giving me a dangerous drug | A drug which turns peoples brains to mush .I give this medication 0 | M | 35 | 1 days 1mg 1X day | 9/2/2011 | 4 | Asperger Syndrome | a decrease in sex drive and erectile dysfunction . Increase in weight gain however I started doing some exercise and I started losing weight. | The reason why I started taking Resperidone was to stop any racing thoughts at night. the drug seems to work | M | 39 | 10 months 2 MG 1X day | 8/30/2011 | 3 | schizoaffective disorder | Rapid weight gain, headaches, vivid dreams | I like taking this drug. It helped my positive symptoms. That said I have gained about 25 lbs in just 2 months since starting. I feel great but it does make me extremely tired in the mornings, but after a pot of coffee I feel better. I would not take the injection of this medicine after reading the other posts, it seems safe enough to take the pill. | M | 31 | 2 months 3mg 1X day | 8/28/2011 | 3 | obsessive tendencies, depression | loss of sexual drive, feelings of hopelessness and despair, semen loss, suicidal thoughts, maybe others | Its really hard for me to tell any noticeable effects from this drug as Im also on Sertraline for my depression and anxiety and also just started on Lamictal for my obsessiveness, and its hard to distinguish which drug does what, truthfully, I never thought about side effects until I did some research on Lamictal on this site, after reading others testimony I realized that Ive experienced some of the same side effects, I havent experienced a hell on earth, more like a purgatory, a feeling of helplessness in the world, an unability to better my position and I cant tell if its the medicine or if its due more to external factors I have definitely noticed a decrease in sexual appetite I do feel that my obsessiveness has been curbed, but not altogether halted, I dont tend to count syllables or add numbers as much, also I am socially less awkward I needed something to stop my obsessive thoughts and it seems to have helped but I need to pay more attention to side effects to gauge this drugs efficacy, if its worth the trade off | M | 35 | 8 months 2 mg 1X day | 8/22/2011 | 1 | BIPOLAR | Made me sick to my stomach. Gave me stomach problems along with Consta. My muscles twitch from time to time. I'v switched to Saphris Black Cherry Flavor. | Makes your eyes flicker and muscles twitch. Terrible insomnia on this drug. | M | 25 | 2 months 2MG 1X day | 8/22/2011 | 3 | borderline personality disorder | rapid weight gain (30+ lbs in 30days!!!), ravenous insatiable hunger | it "took the edge off" and stabilized me but the weight gain threw my sanity off so much it wasnt worth taking. probably bc im trying to recover from an eating disorder. anyway, my psych switched me to geodon 20mg 2x and im doing much better. lost 10lbs and am way less stressed about it. | F | 21 | 35 days .25mg 2X day | 8/18/2011 | 3 | Postpartum psychosis , OCD | Weight gain (25 lbs), no sex drive, can't orgasm, no period, no emotions, feel slow | helped initially with psychosis. Now trying to wean off because of side effects. Down to 2 mg and definitely feel better. | F | 36 | 2.5 years 2-4 mg 1X day | 8/17/2011 | 1 | Depression | Hell on earth. Stomach ache, diarrhea, confusion, wanted to die. I'm off and still sick after 8 days. | The only worse drug is Lamictal. | F | 56 | 3 days 1 mg 1X day | 8/10/2011 | 2 | Bipolar Disorder/Psychosis | Sexual dysfunction, sweating, anxiety, weight gain, loss of interest, loss of passion. | This drug is killing my relationship with my wife (sexual dysfunction), has caused anxiety which I am medicating with Xanax, and I wish wish wish I could stop taking it. But I can't stop taking it, because the withdrawal symptoms are so severe. I forgot a dose last night, and today I've felt really anxious and nauseated. Was I warned about these things? No. Being "bipolar" and "psychotic" was a much better alternative. | M | 33 | 5 years 3 MG 1X day | 8/9/2011 | 1 | psych ward bs | Well its a painfull experience...kinda feels like an electrical current is running throuhg you from your stomach....then after the 6 days were up its been 14 days since then and i still feel the chemical inside of me...im still on the damn drug....well i assume it will take a month or so till i dont feel the efeects of it.... | this drug makes you stupid, it turns your brain into scrambled eggs....very hard to relax on this chemical.....i always considered it more like torture than medication. ...risparadal is torture and the people who make it arent helping people.....as far as scaring you its a good med at doing that | M | 22 | 6 days 4mg 1X day | 8/9/2011 | 1 | Tourettes Syndrome | The most horrific drug ever. Severe muscle spasms that wouldn't stop. I was in terrible pain. Severe Insomnia. Huge increase in motor tics. Terrible anxiety. If you want to torture someone give them this drug.
