Was prescribed .25mg of Risperdal, has anyone had a good experience with it in easing dp/dr? Or some of the ocd or pure o symptoms that come with it?
Is Risperdal a good medication for depersonalization/derealization disorder?

zslanz Yes that is the main reason that this medication is used for. This is one of the most common ones for this condition and very effective. Just make sure you take it just as prescribed by the doctor, Don't take more than it says and yes this should help some with the ocd that comes with your condition and the doctor may add to this after you have been on it for awhile depending on the results you are having.Remember when you first start this medication there may be more sedation than normal but it lets up after a few days to a week, But also helps you sleep at night. hope this helps
