I'm bipolar II. Very depressed. Took risperidone 1 mg for only 2 days. Is it possible that it is working so soon? I'm already feeling less depressed.

Maybe so,
But even if it is a placebo effect, just enjoy it.

ab12cd; As long as it is working just continue and make sure you take it just as directed. We all react differently to different medications but one thing for sure the sedative effect would kick in quicker than the full benefits so roll with it staying positive and feeling like it is helping already is great. Just roll with the good feeling. Best of luck. Chuck1957
