I was just curious how do you feel taking risperidone? Because Im taking it right now and Im not really enjoying life. Things that used to be fun arent fun anymore and I was wondering if anyone else feels the same way. When someone tells a joke I have a hard time laughing. I feel very flat. I dont feel down though so i dont think its depression.
Let me know if your enjoying life on antipsychotics.

Within my past I have took risperidone or risperidoll same drug affects.
I felt like I was a drone or a robot. No feelings or emotions. Your there but you feel like a fly on the wall or a bump on a log. You can't really think or do anything.

Hey there, thanks for the reply. I have also been expriencing wonky pressures benieth my skull in my head. I was wondering if you experienced any unusual feelings in your head taking risperidal. Im hoping by summer i can be drug free if and only if it is safe to come off. It could be that my brain is damaged and it needs more time for healing.

I know when I wanted to stop takeing It my Doc told me to not halt right away it would be like trying to stop a herd of Elephents on a stamped. Ask your Doc if there is a way to ween you off. & ether A) Try a new med. 0r B) no meds at all. They are both for you & your Doc to try.
I believe you. This is definetly a powerful drug. I was wondering did you come off of risperidal?? If you did, how do you feel now? Do you feel you have more joy and happy feelings?
I have been off risperidal for about 6 years. I feel okay I trying to find another doc & shrink. I need to find out whats wrong with me & put me on some decent meds, Hopefuly not risperidal again. Cause I am not going through that again.

Hello, Iknow it has been awhile since the last post but I was wondering if any of you have made progress? I have the flatness and am taking 1mg of Risperdal and my doctors don't want to change anything. I can't get emotionally into anything anymore. I haven't had a good deep laugh in a year and a half or more and wondered if I get off risperdal, will my emotions return to normal or what? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I also forgot to mention that I don't enjoy the things I used to anymore. Like movies or watching sports or playing them for that matter. What has happened to me?
