Risperdal (risperidone) for Social Anxiety Disorder: The best medicine I have ever taken. Usually takes about an hour to work. I take it before bedtime (0.5mg) Restful sleep, but no grogginess in the morning. Just a really great medicine! I would highly recommend it to others! 7 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?

Risperdal (risperidone) for Bipolar Disorder: This medicine is the best thing that ever happened to me. I had tried several medicines over the years and nothing helped what I thought was stress and anxiety. After I had my baby at 27 I thought I was worse than ever and assumed I had Postpartum Depression. I was surprised to be diagnosed as bi-polar. The medicine worked right away and I have never been happier. I am a better person, mother and wife now. 30 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Risperdal (risperidone) for Autism: This drug changed my life. It turned down my emotions just enough (I'm on .5mg) that I could actually function in normal society. Thanks to it, I am now in college (when I was diagnosed at 16 I was failing half my courses) and doing phenomenally well. I can't say this will work for everyone, but I must say it's exactly what I needed. Thank you Janssen Pharmaceutical, you have given me a future. 21 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?

Risperdal (risperidone) for Bipolar Disorder: my husband takes this to control his anger, and as long as he takes it as prescribed, it works great. If he misses a dose, I can tell pretty quickly. Also, he has to watch not to get overheated because then he has a fainting spell and has had a seizure after fainting as well while on this medicine. 34 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?
