| 1 | misdiagnosed | I AM A NURS....ó lord my people, there are people here that says that this med causes brain damage, even after just week in use. Expeciali one man that has written coments here 8 times and talks about how now 4 years later he is still ill after only 9 weeks on a low dose, but what he doesnt say is that he used asid befor this med, and tels that the risperdal mate him ill, but ofcourse the asid dit that not this med. I was terrified of it becouse of what i read here, but many people write many times and maby try to scare you this drug was hell for me, i couldnt stop eating, i could not think, i cryed like a baby the hole tame. i had breastmilk and high prolactin. IT WAS HELL i could not sleep in 5 weeks becouse of hunger and had to have stong pain medicine becouse of it. | now 3 monts after the last shot i am still ill, but i think definetly that it isnt risperdal, it is the witdraw from bensoz. i just had truble with bensoz the same time that i was on risperdal. if anyone will plese write to me and tell my your story, and that you recovered. i am afraid after all that i read here, but i know that this med doesnt couse brain damage exept in many years of use. | F | 27 | 6 weeks consta 25 2X M | 7/18/2011 | 1 | Schizophrenia | This drug is HELL...I feel like I've been given a lobotomy. I don't have the words for how horrible this "medication" is! I can't read watch tv concentrate on anything....I hate this drug! | I'm about to switch to invega once monthly injections because my doctor said it cause less sedation (I hope this is true). does anyone out thier have experience with invega? Is it much better? | M | 27 | 37.5 1X O | 7/17/2011 | 1 | bipolar | Akathisia | Akathisia | M | 31 | 1 weeks 2mg 1X day | 7/9/2011 | 1 | Supposedly bipolar. | Tardive dyskinesia, diabetes, gained 100 pounds in the first year, was a zombie, thought block, very slow, lactation, high blood pressure, lost empathy, brain damage | I was put on this nightmare drug when I was six. I was forced to take it against my will, and it ruined my life. NEVER willingly take this drug or give this drug to your loved one unless they are actually psychotic. I had outbursts in school, but never lost touch with reality. This is a horrible, HORRIBLE drug, and should be banned. | M | 20 | 14 years 4 mg 2X day | 7/8/2011 | 1 | depression | memory problems, PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE, cannot feel any positive feelings at all anymore, this is legalized lobotomia and torturing people | It totally f up my brain; I cannot live anymore, people commit suicides after this chemical torturing by "med pro´s" | M | 37 | 3 months 50 IM 2X M | 6/27/2011 | 1 | misdiagnosed | Loss of cognition (some permanent), unable to move properly, stiff neck, stiff tongue, nightmares, insomnia | This drug makes you feel like you are in a cage while you turn into a retard and your entire nervous system collapses. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. So that you have an idea: couldn't read, couldn't watch TV, after I left it couldn't hand write for 2 months, couldn't drink water (spilled everything out of the glass), dragged my voice. and a powerless horrendeous feeling of being inside a cage that you cannot leave. If someone, doctor or nurse, makes you take this, refuse and contact a lawyer IMMEDIATELY. I have a lawyer now and a psychiatrist who writes reports every month saying that I am ok, so that the people who made me take this wont do it again. you are marked for life and they can put you inside if you don't defend yourself. BE VERY CAREFUL. | F | 34 | 2 months cant remem 1X AN | 6/20/2011 | 1 | Delusions | Felt like collapsing a few times (including public places), extreme lethargy, feel like my brain is being physically squeezed. | I wouldnt give this to a rat. | M | 37 | 1 months 2 2X day | 6/18/2011 | 5 | anxiety, depression | low blood pressure | Risperdal has eased my persistent depression. In the mornings I want to get out of bed and get on with my day. I have less anxiety socializing. I would like to increase the dosage but I`m concerned about being too sedated. | F | 49 | 26 days .25 1X day | 6/5/2011 | 1 | how would i know? | YOU WILL EXPERIENCE HELL IN THIS WORLD ON RISPARADAL CONSTA IT IS HELL ON EARTH DO NOT TAKE THIS INJECTION OR YOU ARE STUCK ON IT FOR ATLEAST A YEAR! | OMG THIS SHOT IS JUST HELL I CANT BELIEVE ITS EVEN LEAGALLY GIVEN TO HUMANS THIS PIEECE OF SHIT HAS CASUED ME PERMANENT BRAIN PROBLEMS IT FEELS LIKE IT MELTED MY CELLS AND TETICULAR ATROPHY I MEAN IM EMBSRRESSED TO SEE PEOPLE I ONCE KNEW CAS I GOT NO BALLS ANYMORE | M | 25 | 25mgimX1 1X day | 6/4/2011 | 3 | bi polar, mood swings aggression | My son was put on this medication from the Paed, how this worked was that our Son would start to argue if told to do something eg, brush your teeth and he couldnt continue the aguement, any arguement was quick and he didnt keep it going, it also made him hungry and thirsty after about 2 weeks. The Doc increased the dose to 1.5 mg per day after two weeks, I have since stopped this as Im very worried about long term effects, instead Ive made a n appointment with the local adolescnet counselling service where he can discuss his feelings, fears etc, medication is not the way to go for a young mind, I worried that the side effects would be permanent, so trying other things, will post a comment after counselling. | Extreme hunger for sweets, hard to wake up in the morning,controlling thoughts,dizzy when standing from a sitting position, greasy hair. | M | 12 | 25 days 2X day | 5/16/2011 | 1 | Autism (PDD) | My son was on risperdal from age 4-8 and at first I thought this was great he was focusing and able get through class without throwing objects.Then I noticed changes occuring the longer he was taking the medication and higher the dosage the more dependant he started to become on it and his behavior changed.He had no emotions or feelings and would sleep most the day and never smiled.I weaned him off the medication four years ago and he does have long term side effects.He is 12 now and stutters every other word,and has headaches on a weekly basis and he still has a hard time remembering the past.I am still not sure what else may arise.I am confident I made the right decision.I now enjoy his morning smile.He plays outside alot and he has never had a behavior problem.This drug is not for children in my opinion. | I would recommend parents trying other options before medicating thier children.My son is doing amazing off all medications.He takes a multivitamin in the morning.I make sure he drinks lots of water.I have him on a daily routine.He eats healthy and gets lots of exercise.I know it sounds unreal but im a single mom and it works. | M | 12 | 4 years 10 mg 3X day | 5/10/2011 | 5 | Obsessive thinking & Anxiety | Some constipation and evening sleepniness . | Resperidone has completely stopped my obsessive thinking and greatly reduced my anxiety. I am able to calmly deal with issues which used to send me into a cycle of obsession, worry and anxiety. | M | 54 | 35 days .5 mg 1X day | 5/4/2011 | 1 | Possible bipolar (never confirmed) | Some weight gain (not as bad as other AAPs), sleepiness, loss of motivation, no longer cared about previous interests/passions. Pretty much took my life and personality away and made me feel helpless (hopeless?). | Switched to risperidone from Invega for the purpose of tapering off. It is far easier to get on these meds than to get off them. I've been tapering as little as 5% of my dose at a time and still get bad withdrawal effects, like extreme tiredness/exhaustion, feelings of social withdrawal and even some feelings I can only describe as paranoia-like (and I have never been even close to psychotic in my life). I've made it from a total of 2.0mg/day down to 0.2mg/day (10%), but it's still a hellish road. Given what I know now, i would have never started on atypical antipsychotics/neuroleptics. I just hope I can recover from them. I should never have been put on them in the first place. | F | 38 | 8 months 1 mg 2X day | 4/29/2011 | 1 | fighting | Ok jansen rep answer me this...when you all formulated risparadal consta and they said it was 25mg of risparadone shouldnt they have told the truth that it was actually a mixture of many different chemicals AND 80mg of risparadone! and when they say the drug is eliminated from the system in 8 weeks shouldnt they have said it is eliminated from the system in 8 MONTHS..... | im sorry but your company has created what we "patients" that have been forcefully medicated by the drug like to call poison. It is obvious to anyone that has ever tried the drug risparadal consta that your designers have designed a drug to systematically burn parts of our brain, most humans that take this drug would infact say it is purley psychological torture...it also spays and nueters males meaning if you get a risparadal consta shot it will shrink and ruin your testicles for life if you are a man.....this is a warning to jansesn about lawsuits...you should employ chemical engeneers that design drugs that make people feel better and live better lives, not that control people for months on end inside themselves and burn every single nerve in their body.....risparadal consta also makes your skin turn yellow and will literally burn your sex organs....F U C K you jansen rep i hope you dont ever actually try this drug because you will become nothing...but lets say your dumb enough to try a consta shot....i will say you are about to go to hell | M | 22 | 1X day | 4/23/2011 | 4 | Paranoid thoughts and delusions | slight swimmyness, slower thinking, slight drowsiness, slight feeling of looking through my eyes from inside my head. | This is most amazing thing that has ever happened to me... I think. I just took my first dose an hour ago and I can definitely notice a difference. I don't seem to be worried as much. I can see now that I WAS having obsessive thoughts. I will try it for ten weeks but so far so good. :) | M | 31 | 1 days 1 mg 1X day | 4/22/2011 | 1 | I was diagnosed with 'schizophrenia | I feel tired and down; i feel drugged; i feel the head heavy; extreme drowsiness, I need to sleep more than 12 hours a day, sometimes I get to sleep around 14 hours,otherwise I feel tired, very sleepy and with the need to reset the sleep; sedation, a feeling of sedation; feeling of wanting to leave the skin itself; extremely dry mouth; want to puke but nothing come out; tremor of the hands and arms; muscle stiffness with contractures and facial spasms; arrhythmia; uncontrolled reflexes of the arms and legs; problems of motor control, motor retardation, the legs move in the opposite direction to the desired; in situations of fear or emotional stress as well as euphoria, more intense emotions, triggers a serie of physical reactions ranging from extreme muscle stiffness with contractures and facial spasms; breathing difficulties; chest pain; ringing in the ears; blurred vision; liver pain; pain in the testicles; palpitations (pulsar) in different parts of the body; swollen fingers, mak | I'm living a nightmare, I can not wait to free myself from it to continue with my life, I'm in it for almost a year and I'm always considering suicide. I was hospitalized for about one month and a half (arrested we mean, and the only people who knows this, is whom already passed through the same). I started with the maximum dose, 50 mg and i stayed there for a few months, they lowered me to 37.5, where I stayed for a few months and i am now at the lowest dose that is 25 mg. At the time of receiving the injection i'm in an absolute terror because i know I'll feel bad again and I'm always terrified when the day of receiving it is approaching. Apparently there is a lot more people than the general people think, that is currently in the same situation as me, and know this is terrifying. It seems it is a widespread phenomenon, a witch hunt in the XXI century, 'diagnose' and drugging. Yes, I'm being forced drugging me, if i offer the least resistance, I was warned, I will be hospitalized again, against my will. I had never thought of suicide until i started with this 'treatment'. This is not treatment, is torture, and I think many of them who prescribe this drugs know that.This is all pure merchandising. | M | 22 | 1 years 25 mg 2X M | 4/11/2011 | 1 | psycho | risparadal consta is hell on earth.....i would describe it as living in hell....you get to live your life, butnow its your life while YOUR in hell....wtf was a company thinking...(hmmm lets put all people that end up with this shot in eternal hell on earth)..…**** JANSSESNNNNN **** INVEGA tooo thst drug is equal bulls* | Risparadal consta is hell on earth...at the lowest dose it will f* anyone up who tskes it for atleast 6 months they can feel the effect of a 12.5 ml shot ...just one shot it can screw you up for half a year?! | M | 21 | 1X day | 4/7/2011 | 3 | bipolar 2, general/social anxiety | 50lbs weight gain; near total sexual dysfunction; restless legs, stuffy nose and intermittently blocked ears for the first few months; physically and mentally turns me into a zombie | Works well for my bipolar 2; seems to keep me from waking up before I'm ready to (although often makes me sleep seemingly too long); quite possibly does nothing for my anxiety. For the bipolar alone it's something of a lifesaver and I might have rated it a 4 or at a push 5 if it wasn't for the numerous side effects which constantly make me want to try lowering the dose, which I often do and this usually leads to a brief high followed by my mood plummeting to dangerous levels and me having to increase the dose again. | M | 34 | 11 years 1mg 2X day | 3/31/2011 | 1 | Psychosis | I feel just like a zombie all the time, I don't like doing anything anymore, my sexual life is gone, I can't concentrate, I can't even talk to people like I used to, I'm totaly emotionless and I have suicide thoughts witch I have never had in my life | I am taking this as we speak and my dr always minimizes the side effects saying that it can't be the medicine. I don't know what to do, the only thing that keeps me going is the thought of killing myself someday. Please send an e-mail if you are experiencing the same side effects as I have. | M | 25 | 9 months 25 MG 2X M | 3/31/2011 | 1 | Autism | Update to My daughter is autistic and is on 1.5 mg twice a day...Does anyone have any experience with FANAPT as a substitute for risperidal? Company claims no weight gain with FANAPT | Weight gain is now approaching 30 pounds, despite running 3 miles twice a week, and gym every day, four to five miles on several machines. Doctor is concerned about weight gain as well, might reduce it in a week or two. | F | 20 | 4 months 1.5mg 2X day | 3/10/2011 |
