Risperdal/Risperidone --> antipsychotic

I'm on .5 mg. Helped me regain my appetite and regulated my sleep a bit. Risperidone with an ssri is supposed to increase the effect of the ssri. It has helped a bit with my thought pattern.

I've been on Risperdal for about a month and I havent had any problems with td or ta. It usually only happens in the elderly, and if you've been using the drug for a long period (years). So don't worry about it. If it's recognized early, the chance for any permanent damage is low.

This website tells you about risperdal and tardive dyskinesia.

I am always here to talk C. I know that you don't think you'll ever get better, but you will. Just keep telling yourself that this isn't going to last forever. I know it's hard, but I have faith in you.
