User Reviews for risperidone oral

i think this med worked for my anxiety and paranoia, but at only 1 mg it knocked me out and i cant take it. i can't function at all on this drug, can barely stay awake

My 12 yr old son started taking this medication 3 weeks ago. It was having a very positive effect on him (the I've seen in years) until 3 days ago. He became very emotional and sad. He started crying because he said he was nervous about going to high school (which is not until next year). He's been crying and unusually sensitive to sad movies and the fear of dear and the uncertainty the future holds.

I WAS 8 YEARS ON STELAZINE 5 MG. THEN 18 YEARS ON RISPERDAL 2 MG. MY NEUROLOGIST TOLD ME THIS CONTRIBUTED TO MY DRUG RELATED PARKINGSON'S.

i have been experiencing side effects from the medication such as nausea, stomach ache, and vomiting.

my 6 year old child recently started taking this med

While in the hospital and it was given through an IV. ,I thought for sleep and anxiety, it worked great, but now at home it doesn't seem to have any effect that I can tell, except make me a little drowsy. The dosage at home is 0.25.

we are worried about the long term side affects on boys,our son is 8 has been on this for 2 yrs. he does not seem to show any of the side affects yet,we just learned of the potienal breast and female hormone issue. we would like information on how to take him off of this drug.

my grandson is 15 has been taking this drug for over 5 years. I seen a tv program last night have many questions doctor will not answer.

my daughter has ADHD & BIPOLAR DEPRESSION and her doctor put her on riseridone 0.5mg tab and tenex 1mg, they aint doing nothing for her at all but putting her to sleep all the time.

my 9yr old show no signs of his bipolor/other pschosis taking a .5mg tab every day. its been 4yrs since a hopitalzation.and is no longer talking to people are hearing them tell him to do bad things.

My son uses this medication for anger problems. It works good,But sometimes it gives him hot flashes and headaches.

My oldest Daughter was Diagnosed with PDD-NOS in Preschool. this drug has been very helpful in maintaing balance....preventing or reducing her fixation on an event or thing and over all making her alot easier to deal with. the biggest worry we have is teh weight gain side effect since both sides of her biological family are large. other then that it has been a great drug and has worked in our case at VERY low dosage levels 2mg/day

I think this works for me. I sometimes worry about the long term side effects.

I had a bad case of paranoia and this medication helped in many ways.It has relaxed my way of thinking and gave me hope on going on!

i have schizoaffective disorder, and found that this drug did work for the most part the side effects were too extreme for me(rigidness, dry mouth and extreme weight gain, about a hundred pounds) i found my symptoms were better controlled with just litium and trazadone.

this medicine helps with the problems im having but the the side effects are what i dislike the most the wieght gain sucks but thats the only really bad one i've had if you can handle that thing or some of the other side effect i suggest this medicine

My elderly mother 89 was diagnosed with Paranoia. She heard voices telling her terrible things. Once place on this medication she rarely hears voices. She does appear to be medicated. She's slowed down quite a bit but has continued her daily functions. It's a relief to know she doesn't hear the bad voices anymore. Although for myself and family members it was hard to adjust to seeing her in a medicated state. I would recommend this drug highly if one is hearing voices....
