| 1 | schizophrenia | mood swings, loss memory | | 12/17/2007 | 1 | stuck in fantasy reality | gave me this really dark, godawful feeling, the heaviest uneasiness and blackest dread. caused disabling stress and anxiety, lead to chronic panic attacks and a major psychotic episode because of them. brainwashed me to kill myself. | this drug tyrannized my existence, the madness consumed my life. it hurt me how coldly my pdocs dismissed my experience: "mm hmm" "i see"; never has a single 'real' doctor been as indifferent toward me as either of my pdocs. its discomforting that these sociopaths are the ones dispensing these powerful drugs. | F | 18 | 4 months | 12/15/2007 | 1 | Shizoaffefective | 40 poounds weght gain, Felt sick all the time | Switched from haldol to this drug .

Not a pleasant detox, be very careful, there are better alternatives, do your homework! | F | 50 | 18 months | 11/10/2007 | 3 | Behavioral Problems | Frecuent urination and hiperthyroidism | Did somebody developed cataract taking Risperdal? | M | 8 | 2 years | 11/5/2007 | 1 | Schziophernia | twitches in my body, feels like i'm losing my mind like I can't think anymore having toruble remembering things etc., spasmodic dysphonia!!!!! Which is the worst I need surgery now to get my original voice back..i'm having muscle spasams in my vocal cord area which was cuased by this medcine!!! Dangerous drug!!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS IT COULD MAKE YOU MORE INSANE AND RUIN YOUR LIFE!!!! | I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DRUG TO ANYBODY...IT RUINED MY LIFE!!!! IT MADE ME DEPRESSED AND FORGETFUL AND NOW HAVE SPASMODIC DYSPHONIA... | M | 21 | 2 days | 10/28/2007 | 5 | paranoid schizophrenia | none | This medicine has been a lifesaver for me, has diminished the voices, and my anxiety and paranoia has decreased also. I don't know where I would be without this medicine. I have only been on it for 2 months, and I continue to get better each day. | F | 8 weeks | 10/27/2007 | 4 | Shaken Baby Syndrome, behavior prob | My son is 5 years old, he is taking this med for the behavior issues, hyperness, and anger issues. This drug has helper tremendously on these issues. The only downside is that he tends to cry more often and more frequently. He will cry when he thinks he is in trouble. He has seemed to throw more fits as well.In the beginning he seemed to be very tired, but it has improved a lot. He does get a good nights sleep now. | M | 5 | 4 months | 10/24/2007 | 5 | Bipolar 1 | Makes me very docile. | Next to lithium risperdal is my favorite drug. Along with lithium risperdal stops me from going phychotic, manic and racing mind. It doesn't do anything for depression. | M | 60 | 5 years | 10/19/2007 | 3 | Bi-polar | joint pain, problem with memory, loss of interest in sex, weight gain, etc etc.etc. | Ok, so we have mental illness. and with that illness comes the fact that we have to monator our drugs and make changes often. Risperdal works well with paranoia thoughts. Everything else is a dissapointment. I have to talk with my Dr. once again and weigh out the odds. It sucks but is part of the wellness package, we either work it or go crazy. Id like my life back also, can't remember things like I used to. but I have peace of mind. | F | 51 | 3 years | 10/19/2007 | 4 | Bi Polar | Weight gain weird dreams | Help with running thoughts | F | 35 | 6 months | 10/18/2007 | 1 | this medicine is rat poison | i recommend not taking it or else | go up cas | M | 38 | 8 years | 10/17/2007 | 4 | stress crisis, leading to self harm | good in a crisis where you feel stressed and upset. makes me feel mellow and happy. i take a few extra when i'm totally stressed, and it's like floating for awhile but i get very chatty, and can't stop talking. i never hurt myself before until last year, and i got so frustrated to the point of insanity, simple plain insanity. and respiradol takes those thoughts away | i tried lithium, geodone, and loccitane, and this one suits me fine. i'm really picky because i don't like the weight gain, so i take wellbutrin as well, but when i tried all the others, i was nauseous couldt stop crying or get out of bed, so it made me more depressed. the respiradol gets me out of crisis mode very fast | F | 44 | 5 months | 10/16/2007 | 4 | tics | 20 pounds weight gain and sedation. | Helps with tics, though still "ticky". Only caused weight gain when I was at 2mg--10lbs in one month! At 1.5mg I am no longer gaining weight. Not perfect but better than Geodon--that stuff induced 5 panic attacks in one week! Stick with what works.... | M | 31 | 8 months | 10/15/2007 | 2 | Anxiety, Depression | Food, and more Food, put on 20 lbs in a month. | It was worth a try but did nothing for my GAD or depression, but did a number on my checkbook though. 8-) | M | 27 | | 10/11/2007 | 5 | SEVERE ANXIETY WITH PHOBIAS | I HAVE GAINED WEIGHT. HOWEVER, THE MOST DISTURBING PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE TAKEN MYSELF OFF OF RISPERDAL TWICE IN THE PAST AND EVEN AFTER 3 WEEKS WITHOUT IT BECAME NAUSEOUS AND VOMITED EVERYDAY UNTIL I FINALLY STARTED TAKING IT AGAIN. ORIGINALLY TOOK IT FOR 4 STRAIGHT YEARS AND CANNOT STOP TAKING IT EVEN WITH WEANING AS I GET TERRIBLY ILL! ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHILE ON RISPERDAL? MY DOCTORS THINK IT'S ALL IN MY HEAD. I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT GAIN, BUT AFTER 3 WEEKS OF THROWING UP AND TRYING TO FUNCTION, I GAVE IN AND AM BACK ON IT. | F | 43 | 4 years | 10/10/2007 | 1 | who knows undiagnosed | every gay one thats bad | is the devil, i wanted to kill myself | M | 21 | 14 days | 10/9/2007 |
