Risperdal was an absolute life saver for me. Probably the best med I've ever been on. Ironically, I took it for agitation, and it worked wonders.

Sadly, risperdal is also the worst med for me, it shot my prolactin levels off the charts which caused all sorts of sexual functioning issues. So I'm off it and trying out Abilify.
