| Add Risperdal review After having a nervous breakdown, I talked to my doctor about options in dealing with anxiety and depression. My doctor prescribed this medication back in 2008. Since then, my entire outlook and personality has changed. My thought process is much clearer, I don't feel nervous or anxious as much, and the medication has made me able to deal a high level of stress. I can honestly say that Risperdal h ... increased sedation, increase in constipation, loss of appetite, loss in interest of things he used to do,increased difficulty in learning and desire to learn and less happy Made me very drowsy, lost interest in previously enjoyable activities 0/10 would not reccomend Varying dosages. Paranoia/hallucinations. Quit cold turkey and still have no feelings, emotions, or empathy but am calm but really delayed thinking and responses and had to give up on Bachelor's degree. It raises your triglyceride levels and causes weight gain. I wouldn't recommend it to people unless you really need it. | Add Risperidone review The medication worked however it increased my breast size and now I have to research how to fix this. Not happy. This medication was prescibed for chronic migraine, it caused me to have hyperprolactinemia. I had no period for more than a year and it caused my breasts to leak milk even though I have no children. Even my gyn did not catch this one. I started risperidone 2mg at bedtime in April of 2013. Since then I have no more anxiety, not depressed, no longer agitated or nervous I feel much better no more social anxiety disorder and it has helped my spasmodic dysphonia. I can focus much better. Life is good !!! I was given the Rx to take at bedtime.. this is given to schizophrenics and it causes one to hear voices? Sounds like job security for masochistic shrinks. Feel MUCH better w/out it. I urge everyone to GET A SECOND OPINION!!!I now take a single dose of one med each day. Keep trying, there IS something better out there. | |||
