It's interesting because I take Risperdal for my anxiety and ocd. I know it's not mainly used for treating that but since my anxiety and ocd is so severe, my doctor thought that a small dose of an antipsychotic would help.. and it does. The level of my anxiety is much less now and my ocd is getting a lot better. It's weird how some meds work for many different things.. I had always thought that the antipsychotics were only used for schizophrenia but apparently they are also used a lot for anxiety too. The only thing I hate about taking them is the weight gain and tiredness.. but I guess it beats having severe anxiety all the time!

Good luck with your meds.. hopefully they will work good for you as they have with me.
