Does anyone take this anti-psychotic.I've been taking Olanzapine along with Venlafaxone for 2 1/2yrs now and recently my new psych. gave me a choice,to either increase the Olanz. or try Risperidone. Well, of course I went for the Risp on 260104(Monday).

What a disaster.......I have had all the 'common' side effects,headaches,hypotension and well, my sex drive when taking this was non-existent.Last night (without doc's consent) I changed back to Olanz. as I just couldn't take this medication (will let the doc know on monday).

Does anyone have any experiences of Risperidone and if you've used Olanzapine how would you compare the 2 ?
