Because if it's eliminating all your manic and hallucinations and delusions then it's up to you to battle the weight gain, and anxiety, and sleeping long hours, and aggressiveness and thinking suicidal, how? I've been to hospital nearly 6 times and that's because I've stopped my medication or when I was put on consta I stopped taking the injection suddenly because I thought I was fine because I had battled all the downsides, sorry I didn't get down to how? I'll explain. Firstly I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't gamble, I go for long walks pushing myself at fast pace to get my dopamine Levels high so that takes the place of smoking and I have a sleeping pattern I sleep 8 hours during the night even though I have the urge to sleep more and nap during the day for about an hour I read books and I work hard in battling this illness everyday to learn about my illness and work hard to keep myself from overeating because the medicine gives you appetite but it's up To you to control how much you eat and what you eat, and for being aggressive, you need to be a zombie so you need that sleep to keep yourself from being aaggressive and the naps and suicide you have to again be a zombie again to eliminate that thoughts until you control it. | Conclusion you need to get out there in 3 ways, spiritually you need to have a connection with God, you need to learn as much knowledge about the illness you have and what's the right led and thitdly stop winging And get out there and go for long walks so you get your dopamine levels high specially if your feeling low or out of energy or too overweight. | M | 29 | 7 days 50mg | 9/14/2015 | 5 | Bipolar disorder | Diarrhea and a cough, both of which went away after a few weeks on the drug. | Best drug I was ever prescribed.

Anxiety and chronic sense of emptiness, listelessness and boredome. Hate being around people. Get put off by everything and hate having things I have to do. Can't even sleep during the day to escape this nightmare. Will Cut dose on my own since I don't think taking new antidepressants will be the answer. | M | 53 | 5 years 3 1X day | 4/20/2015 | 1 | Muscle pain | I tried to quit with Risperidon for the 3th time. Now the dosage was decrease to 0, 25 mg each 2 weeks. When I go from 2 mg each day to 1,75 mg each day, after a few days I started to became more happy and less restless. Than afters 2 weeks I decrease to 1,5 mg each day. I feel much better, and the restless disapear. After 9 days, I woke up with a very agitated feeling and pain on my chest. Also more anxiety, and also the restless feelings starts again. I decided to increase the dosage back to 1,75 mg. So I explained my negatives to my doctor, and ask him if it is alright to increase the dosage back to 1, 75 mg each day, and he agreed. I thougt this was the right dosage for this moment. But after a few days, I feel only emptyness. And again: The postive working of cannabis disapeared. Also restless feeling are back. What do I have to do, to get rid of this medication? | M | 33 | 2 years 1 mg 2X day | 4/13/2015 | 1 | For voices and paranoia schizo affective | I took this medication between 2007-2010. At first it did me good in my stability. Being a coffee drinker and cola drinker I experienced thoughts of depression and thoughtlessness. Memory over long term has made me have little to no abilities in recalling the times when I took it. I feel like I have dementia along with paranoia and anxiety now. | In my opinion most psych meds are a joke in living with a peace of mind. And only agitated my chemical and emotional well being. | M | 36 | 1 weeks 1 | 4/2/2015 | 1 | Muscle pain | Part 2: to lay down on bed. Feel anxiety. I asked my doctor for antidepressant too. So I started with 25 mg Sertraline. In the weeks that past I smoke cannabis, but the working of cannabis was zero. Only negative and bad thoughts. Risperidon ruined my dopamine I guess. After 8 weeks going trough hell, I decided to start again with Risperidon. But this time not higher than 2 mg each day. My new doctor agree with it. After a few days the effect of cannabis was back. Some withdrawals disapeared. And I go back to 3 times 0,5 mg Alprazolam each day. Currently using 75 mg Sertraline thanks to Risperidon, and a stupid cunt doctor! Brainless man he is. Did no research about interactions between cannabis and Risperidon. Let me show you some translated part of a Dutch website calles Jellinek. Concomitant use of cannabis and antipsychotics thus exerts an opposite effect on dopamine. Both, however, have a dampening effect on the brains [9,13]. In this regard, they intensify each other [2]. | My legs are still restless in te morning and evening when I wake up, or going to sleep. I have restless feelings trough my body and brains. Apathetic, Problems to communicate with strange people, Lost of interessted, Anger, Doom scenarios, Depressive, Feeling of illness(difficult to define), Tremors,Horrible withdrawal symptoms (even when I started again with Risperidon), Less happiness,Scared,Shaking,Headache,Antisocial behaviour,Messed up my brain (way of thinking), More agressive etc. I did a second try to quit with it, but I cant. It's doomed to fail. Risperidoomed! | M | 33 | 2 years 1 mg 2X day | 3/4/2015 | 1 | Muscle Pain | When I was on 4 mg Risperidon each day I have a lot of side effects. My doctor prescribe it for muscle pain , but he also knows I smoke Cannabis. He is anti Cannabis use. I found a website in Dutch about interactions between Cannabis and Risperidon. But it was already too late when I discovered that. Because I have a lot of pain in my lower back , and my doctor don't want to prescribe me stronger painkillers than Diclofenac, I went to another doctor. I asked my new doctor to quit Risperidon because of the side effects and interactions. So he told me to taping it off slowly. 1 mg each 2 weeks. When I was at 0 mg , and I quit use it. My legs become very restless. I also got panic attacks, and I want to jump out of my window. I was crying, and my thoughts go very bad. It almost feels like i was dying. Than they put me on Alprazolam. It helps a little to calm down. But very soon my use of Alprazolam rise to 6 times 0,5 mg Alprazolam each day. And I feel still very ill, and only want t | Risperidoomed! | M | 33 | 2 years 1 mg 2X day | 2/28/2015 |
