User Reviews for risperidone oral

i havent really noticed anything when i take it. but i do notice that without it my bipolar becomes unmanagable.

eye twiching otherwise,not doing much of anything

I gained a lot of weight while taking this medication (55 lbs!) and I am struggling to lose the weight now that I am off of it. The medication also left me extremely tired and "foggy".

i have been taking for about a week and everyday i have a headach it get so bad i have a problem taking care of my 2 year old thank god for husbands.

I started out taking this med for depression for about a year now and it really helped right away. I have noticed it has helped with other things besides the depression and they are my Tinnitis(ringing in the ears)which I suffered from for ten years and the OCD that went along with the ringing. These disorders disappeared about a week into the risperidole and remain among the missing to this day. I call it my miracle drug. I started out on .05mg and within 3 months time I was taking 2 and a half mgs and would suggest it to anyone that suffers from any depression like disorders.Read More Read Less

My son is 6 yrs old has been on this medicine for a little over a week. his dr thinks he hears voices and has hallucinations as far as i can see it has stopped the "monsters outside his window" however over the past few days he has started to grab his face and dig his fingernails into his skin leaving marks has anyone dealt with this before? i am worried and cant get in touch w/ his dr until next week

It is for my son and there is no change.

I just get headaches and feel like, depressed 24hrs a day. nothing seems to help me. The dr has tried everything and at first it will work for a couple of months then my body just doesn't do anything. I go back into my depressed mania even while on medications and all i think about is I'm tired of taking pills there has to be another solution.

I have been on for about a year gain 30lbs some other side effects i can handle ok helps with the anger alot and the crying spells

my 30 yr old son started taking with,Remeron, last Thurday. Sunday morning he passed out, Monday he was in the ER after another pass out with seizures

THIS DRUG WAS VERY EFFECTIVE FOR ME I AM NO LONGER HAVING FEARFUL DREAMS.

I took 1mg gained 20 lbs the first month. I have to admit though that I felt great on the medication. I did not want to risk anymore weight gain as I was already at 220 when I started the medication due to prolixion. Not only that but I had a friend on resperidol and she was proscribed 30mg a day. She not only gained a bunch of weight but she had sores around her ankles and swelling which I too had swelling.

Absolutely wonderful, at first was a bit tired but that is normal for me every time I start a new drug. My psychosis is nearly totaly undercontrol. Its absolutely wonderful.

My 9 year old daughter has been taking this for agression due to her diagnoses of PDD-NOS. We saw a decrease in biting, screaming, throwing objects RIGHT AWAY! After about 2 months we are starting to see the behaviors creep back up. Plus, for the past two days she has been complaing that her "heart" hurts, but she points to her nipples. Not sure if it has to do with the fact that it can make you lactate or affects heart rate? But now i am nervous to continue giving the medication to her. i will be calling the Dr. For now I am not giving it to her.Read More Read Less
