I am taking risperdal ,25 mg ...just started it last week in connection with Lexapro to get rid of or manage a depression and get myself evened out. It is supposed to be short term....fingers crossed. I am finding myself a bit off kilter and even a bit agorophobic. Do others have this experience and how has this been addressed. I just keep going but last night ... suppose I tried too much in one day and could not go out except to my parents.

My doc had said that things would normalize in a couple days but I tend to be nervous and am taking 1/2 tab every hour or two. How cumbersome. I think today I will try a whole tab at a time and see how that goes but I would like to have input from others on how the risperdal experience went and how /if it became more manageable.

I am also anxious about seeing bad news reports, etc... hearing of deaths, etc...but am a sensitive soul.

Input appreciated. Thanks.
