i was on risperidone

initially it was great. i woke up feeling full of energy and slept well at night but then i became very sedated.

it got worse so i got taken off it but initially it was fantastic. it quietened my mind and helped me focus. i would say give it a couple more days. it does build up in your system so you will notice changes over time. i can't remember what time of day i took it as it was a couple of years ago but if you were told to take it at night then i'd suggest taking it a few hours before you go to bed so the sedation wears off while you sleep.

and yes it sounds like a good idea not to be driving or operating machinery until you get used to it
