Anyone Taking Risperidone

hi guest, i have read your past response and have learned that you got your emotions back after hypnotherapy,i have been on risdone 1mg for three months now after some anti malarial drugs induced hallucination,am now feeling ok,only that am emotionally flat,i want to know if i will fully get my emotions back after leaving risdone.thanks

I am taking risperidone.  In August one day my breasts felt incredibly large and I could float around the pool on my back even to the point of almost falling asleep with out a raft.  I take risperidone due to delusions.  Well, I thought that someone had placed me under surgery without my consent and put implants in me that is how drastic the increase was and I was pissed.  Well, Im doing somewhat bette and i think the invisible stalkers who love the band HEART have all left me alone however today I felt like I did 22 yr s ago while nursing my son when trying on bras.....i pinched my breast and milk has been flowing from each one of them ever since.  This could be a side effect of this med.....its a relief to know I didnt have surgery.  I am going to quit taking this med I have also gained a ton of weight

Hey ive been on risperidone for about a year, i havent been the same person as i feel like ive lost my personality... Have u been off risperidone and feel like your back to yourself again? With alot more things to say to people and whatnot? Because i feel like the drug diminished my brain and i dont have much to say to people now...

I take one 9mg. pill of Invega a day.It is the same as risperdal only it's very expensive. Like $12.00 a pill. When my doctor prescribed Invega to me for the first time back in 2004. By the 3rd day I said to myself I'm going home. Which meant my mind is on its way to the way it use to be, before I got sick. My doctor has tried to take me off of Invega 3 times over the coarse of 8 years. Every time I have these exacerbations of hallucinations. He said we won't ever try that again. Invega isn't good for you.  My diagnosis is Bipolar-type 1 with psychosis/General anxiety/ADHD. So to answer your question , no it doesn't make me feel terrible. It does me a lot of good.

I am on 4mg risperidone for drug induced psychosis for the past 3 months. I have been prescribed it for 6 months then taper down from there. For the 1st 3 weeks I felt great. At that point i started to feel overwhelming anxieties - a thing I have never experienced before. I also have noted that my personality has changed. I was no longer as out-going as I used to be, I have trouble connecting with people and this made my anxiety worse. I have now spiralled into a depression that is very difficult to explain. It's like I am not happy nor sad.... just existing. I lost my job because of this and am now living with parents. My communication and intellectual skills have also diminished and I find it difficult to hold a conversion with my parents, brother, anyone really. I have a feeling that it is the risperidone that is making me feel this way. I am constantly worrying about this as I fear that the effects are permanent. I've lost all the good traits of my personality, my wit, my humour and compassion. Now all I do is worry about worrying. I want my personality back.

I take risperidone for drug induced psychosis. only 3 more months before I can start tapering off. I feel the same way. Risperidone has destroyed my personality.

have you continued taking risperidone? if not, have you gotten better?

I took risperidal for about half year, and feel the same. I find it is really hard for me to laugh and lose interest for many things

I always suggest to take medicines only prescribed by doctor or counselor.

Has anyone took risperidone by mistake or been given it for 2 months? Any tips on how to obtain your feelings back?

My husband is on risperidone. How can I support him?
