Risperdal is a good med for me but I've switched to the newer version, Invega sustenna. It's easier for me to get an injection once a months, plus safer because even if I decide to ditch meds (or forget to take them for a couple of days) I can't ditch that one so I don't go off the rails. I haven't had a manic episode since I started it a year ago. Doesn't help depression but keeps paranoia and agitation down.

I do lactate though. Only mildly. I also didn't get my period for four months. But I'm afraid to get my prolactin levels tested because I don't want to be taken off of it. I definitely don't want to jump on the med merry go round again.
