For Anxiety "I started taking risperidone for anxiety recently, after trying 20+ meds for it without success. The first week was rough. I got a cold, experienced insomnia, had restless legs, and felt very unmotivated. I wanted to give up, but I decided to give it a chance. The 1-week mark has now passed, and all of my side effects have gone away. I feel calm, stable, and functional. I currently take 0.5 mg once nightly and plan to go up to 1 mg. This is the best med I've tried for anxiety. It's not for everyone, but it's worth giving it a chance; don't give up if you're struggling at first."

For Anxiety "Made me less angry. But just made me way blunted in general. I didn’t feel any emotion. Seems like it made it hard for me to sleep. Not great overall. It makes you less of a person."
