I have some questions about medication. I have been taking an antipsychotic called "Risperdal" for about 9 days now. I don't feel any different. But the medication must be doing something because I am lactating for no reason. So I guess what I want to know is:

1.) How will I know if a medication is working or not?
2.) Can medication make a situation worse?
3.) Has anyone here taken Risperdal? What was your experience like?
4.) When should I give up and try a different medication?
5.) What if no medication works?

There's actually a lot more I would like to say, but I don't want to scare off people with a ton of text. I just wish I had therapy set up...
