Risperidone "Flat"

Yes, I was on Risperdal Consta for about 8 months. Quit cold turkey and had some pretty bad side effects (nausea to the point of throwing up frequently) but I went back to my normal self in about 3-4 months after I stopped getting the injection.

I too have been taking this drug.  I'm on 2 MG of this and I'm a musician.  Well, I WAS a musician.  A composer.  But since being on this medication I feel asthough I have no ability to write absolutly anything anymore.  I can't even get a rythm going or play the same chord anymore without getting bored.  I'm at college too which is even worse because I can't concentrate or take anything in and plan on going to uni this year.  Psychosis is a horrible illness but I am trying to decide wether or not the side effects are worse than the illness.  I have no interest in hobbies anymore and I feel asthough my attention span has dropped considerably.  I was taking olanzipine before hand at 5 mg then 10 mg then back to 5 again.  I feel asthough this may affect my head permenantly and never be able to write anything again.  It is frustrating and I feel worse in some ways being on the medication.  Sleeping is a slight issue as I wake up early and can't get back to sleep.  When I finally stop taking this medication will I be able to write again?  Thanks for your time

It's rispiridone I'm taking

i got over 50 side effects from it and I amd dying

Im on it and have had the same issues youre dealing with. Luckily my mom is on my side. And she had the doctor lower me to 25 mgs every five weeks. I've went from not producing sperm and no orgasm . To sperm and I'd say the equivalent of half an orgasm (sensation) i have alot to be greatful for. This medication can be worse than death. Oh and i have developed a minor case of gyno (male breasts) but mainly just swollen nipples. Hope this helps. i would call your house and try and talk some sense into tour mom. Anyways good luck friend. I'd run away if it seemed like there was no hoe or go back to using pills. I know the torture . I've lived it. As far as i know its not permanant

Get him off this now ! This is pure frikkin position. . Pay attention to his breasts. Are they getting bigger? Anyways its too long to explain. But if your his substitute decision make get him the f**k off now. And may god have mercy on your soul.

This sh*t shrinks my penis rapidly within 2 months on 4mg my penis vanished. Its small now im hoping it recovers docs are clueless on situation so am i

I'm in the same boat dude, it sucks if anyone has recovered from any of the side effects of risperidone please reply because this s**t is pure torture even though I've been off it a few months now, I'm regaining some emotion but that's about the height of it, not a lot of motivation to do anything #thissucks

I'VE RECOVERED SEROQUEL XR 300MG ONE AT NIGHT IS THE ANSWER

it will kill you. get away fat. run for you life. once its in you its to late. no healing. you are done. you will die within a couple years if in good health. otherwise say good by. you will be disabled. don't say I didn't warned you, i am telling you the truth. you will wish you were in hell because it makes hell look like a vacation.

i have been on antipsycotics for about a year now and they are terrible wee are in the dark ages of mental health care the way wee were 100 hundred years ago with medicine there is no help out there you just got to be strong and talk about it that was the best way for me

can u elaborate on this?

I have some good news for everyone on this drug. I was once on risperidone and it was awful. I had no creativity, I had no interest in any of my hobbies. Nothing interested me but I stopped taking it after a few months. It took a few weeks but amazingly all effects of it went away. I could write again, I enjoyed my hobbies again and I felt brilliant. Truth is for some people they will be rid of the side effects pretty soon so hopefully there will be some hope for people who read this

hi...what illness you had?

How do you know these people were permanently affected by this?
