Risperidone "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!"

Risperidone "Risperidone and Elavil helped my daughter. She could not sleep, and she had all F's in school. She started risperidone and Elavil about 4 years ago and has been an A-B student since. She is in special education for only 30 minutes a day now."

"It was an utter nightmare. I got heavy dissociation, felt like a zombie just from one dose and couldn't shake it off for two days. It made me feel like I was sleepwalking and gave me more anxiety. I stopped it immediately. It was the worst I've ever felt. I then continued on SSRIs and had a way better experience. My doctor made a mistake with this prescription. Hope nobody else is given the wrong medication like I was."

"I have been taking SSRIs for a long time. But then my psychiatrist prescribed me this thing because she overreacted to a panic attack I had one night. I was afraid of taking it since I saw that it was prescribed to treat advanced mental health issues. But the worst was the awful side effects once I started. I have IBS, my physician got nuts when he heard that I was put on risperidone. I'd been having weird abdominal pain for almost 2 weeks. He told me this thing could cause megacolon. I returned to my standard SSRIs and stopped having all those weird side effects. Check the side effects, your family history, and always try a second opinion."

Risperidone "It helped me a bit, though I lost a lot of weight after I was taken off."
