I also took Risperdal. And I usually take a lower dose of all med than alot of people.
Risperdal did help me with paranoia. It made me feel nothing, just dead. I wanted off it and had to go back on later and it did not work the same. I felt bursts of anger that scared me. That didn't make sense to me. I don't want antipsychotic drugs anymore. Not saying no one should take them if you are in a bad way. It is just how I feel personally.
