User Reviews for risperidone oral

i am having weight gain,blue vision. heart problem.rps4

This Drug is wonderful and if taken in the proper dose and make sure it doesn't inter react to other meds this medicine is great. I take toprimate for headaches which is a seizure medication so tlhat prevents the weight gain. I also take Zoloft. The combinations of these three drugs are the prefect three for me.

I was prescribed risperidone 13 years ago, however by denying my diagnosis I didn't commit to the medication until two years ago. I have now been to taking risperidone daily for the past two years. I feel normal again! It took about one year to achieve total wellness. Now my life is back on track. I love this medication. I haven't had any side effects and NO weight gain.

Risperdal was added to my meds, along with Prozac a week or so. ! mg morning and 1 mg evening. I had been having rage and irritability and it had gotten to the point where I was afraid I might hurt my kids or myself. I called the pdoc and she added the Risperidone and the next day all the rage and irritability was gone, along with the residual depression. It is a lifesaver. I'm just worried about weight gain. I;ve actually lost 2 lbs on it but I;m still worried. I packed on 60 lbs in 2010 due to psych meds and I still haven;t lost it.Read More Read Less

Seems to be working but I'm still on my first week of it. Loud voices seems more calm, still lots of missing time. Still don't remember much about anything else.

I first began taking Risperdal(name brand) in 2007, when I was having very serious psychological problems that involved terrible disorganized thinking, delusional thoughts, OCD, and Tourette's. I never heard any voices. It was just so bad, my disorganized thinking process, that I decided to get help in 2007, when I turned 25. In my late teens, I had tiny precursors but then at about 21, in 2003, I became so very sick. I lost my mind, literally. I could no longer pay attention, and was agitated, and had anxiety so bad. All of this plus terrible concentration problems. In 2007, the psychiatrist prescribed me Paxil, Klonopin, and Risperdal. It was just so amazing how much "junk" was cleared out of my head. It was like a really humid day, and then a cold front sweeps through and takes all of the moisture with it, and it becomes cool, dry, with no humidity. That's how I would describe these meds as feeling for about the 1st 3 to 3.5 years. Then I switched to a generic Risperidone, and began having some problems again. My Tourette's came back, in full force. My thoughts were once again scattered. Not as bad, but this was junk compared to Janssen's brand name "Risperdal." So I give the Risperidone up all together, and became nuts in the head again with thoughts and garbage flying everywhere in my head. So back on the generic I went. Since I switched to generic, the combo of Risperidone and Clonazepam has caused me much trouble with wetting the bed. I've tried to go off the Risperidone numerous times, but always got back on it due to the craziness in my head. The only complaint I have about Risperidone, is that the Generic isn't as good. Also, it makes me go crazy upon taking it. So I take it right before bedtime, literally. It is a wonderful drug because I have most of my mind and life back. Even though I've gained 150 lbs and have unpleasant side effects. It's great knowing I can have myself back, not all, but most of my old self with the amazing help of Risperidone. 9/10Read More Read Less

I have been struggling with bpd type 2, for all my life, the risperdone has been the most effective in stabilizing my shifts in poles

I have been prescribed this medication for alleged auditory hallucinations. How long before this med works? I take 1 .5 mg before bedtime.

I have been taking this med now for about 6 months and the only thing i can say about it is run away from this one quickly. Do not even consider taking this med. I had not been sleeping very good so the md gave me this to help with my sleep. I take Citalipram and Atenolol and Lasix, I just found out today that taking these together could cause heart problems and Stroke and possibly Death. I will not take any more of this drug. I have been tired sleepy and confused and cannot remember anything. Also today I found out from my pharmacist that it could help bring on Alzheimers. Why did my Dr. give me this?Read More Read Less

Dizyness confusion and diarrhea Weight Gain Shuffling walk LIp Puckering

It was prescribed to be 0,5 mg (10 drops) daily during lactation period. I gave to my baby, 14 months "clean milk" Without risperidone. The it was prescribed to me the risperidone oral drops during lactation in a small dose, under the premise that 0,5 mg will not pass to the baby. Now I have Pituitary Gland Tumor, Pineal Gland tumor, diabetes, hiper insulinism. I had urinary incontinence as fecal one (that stopped). I had hyper menorreah, it was prescribed to me adenomiosis in the utherus, I had to have an hysterectomy. And I have Carpal Tunnel issue. We don't know if it is Dupuytren's or what. We still don't know if the problem of insulin comes from a pancreas damage or what. All I know is that I had not that before the rsiperidone, and now I have it. Just in case, after one month taking it, I had a super extraa menstrual bleeding and bothe hands slept with tingling. Since then hands problem had never stopped. I wish the risks. Of taking the risperidone during lactation had been published. It only said, do not take it during lactation because the risks over the baby have not been established, so, that. Let th e open door for a petit dose, so the risks for the mother are the same of any other women taking it??? Now I am living this nightmare in a third world country, trying to prove all these...Read More Read Less

I have been on seraquil and Prozac and many others you have listed on this page. not only is this drug simple to take, you feel no affects except for a steady calm feeling. a feeling of being in real control thru out your day.

I have psychotic depression and this helps get rid of the voices and visions. It is a godsend.

I am very happy with this. Before I started this, my other medication was Zyprexa, then Seroquel. I have a mild dose, it lowers my anxiety, stress, stops any hallucinations (which I forget about), and helps me feel good throughout the day. Zyprexa nearly killed me with a rare side-effect, and Seroquel ruined my health drastically causing my gall-bladder to be affected (removed). I don't recommend this for everyone, but for schizophrenia, it's a breakthrough.

My tongue is swollen and so sore, just started happening a week ago and wasn't sure what caused it, so now I am wondering if it is this medication that I started taking about month ago and I am on a diet and sticking to it and have gained 17 pounds.

I started risperidone 2mg at bedtime in April of 2013. Since then I have no more anxiety, not depressed, no longer agitated or nervous I feel much better no more social anxiety disorder and it has helped my spasmodic dysphonia. I can focus much better. Life is good !!!

This medication was prescibed for chronic migraine, it caused me to have hyperprolactinemia. I had no period for more than a year and it caused my breasts to leak milk even though I have no children. Even my gyn did not catch this one.

caused a seizure. doctor was unwilling to correct problem, so i did it myself. nothing good to say about this med. i will say as long as i don't take fine! Read More Read Less
