risperidone: This is a great medicine. I've been taking it for a couple of weeks now and my hallucinations have almost completely gone away. It does make you a little tired at first though.

Risperdal (risperidone): I used to hear voices on a daily basis, especially when I was near a fan or running water, the noise turned into words. Since I have been on Risperdal I have had a significant decrease in the voices to where they are almost gone. If I don't get any sleep or I am really stressed out the voices come back, so I try to get plenty of sleep and avoid stressful situations. I give Risperdal an A . The first week on Risperdal I was extremely sleepy. It was really hard to wake up, but now I am fine and my body has adapted to the medication. You should try it. The peace of mind I get from Risperdal is priceless. I used to think my thoughts were being broadcast out loud and now my own thoughts are much quieter.

Risperdal (risperidone): No relief of voices. I rarely have visual hallucinations anyway. Very bad menstrual irregularity and some dry mouth. Had to quit taking it.

Risperdal (risperidone): I don't really believe I have an issue. I do admit I hear voices and see things other people can't, but I don't believe they're hallucinations. Anyways.
When taking this medication the voices went away, the walls stopped melting, things stopped changing color, people weren't after me as much and stuff. It didn't take the visuals away 100% and I was less afraid. It didn't help my mood as much as it should have (I also have mood problems).

Risperdal Consta (risperidone): This medicine, although it has to be administered by IM every 2 weeks has been WONDERFUL. I've been on it almost 2 years now. My husband gives me my injections at home. I don't even think I have eexperienced any side effects. I am more focused and relaxed and not as flat.

Risperdal (risperidone): Is providing some relief from hallucinations on 6mg day - also helps bipolar ups and downs. I do have some side effects though.
