I've been on risperidone for years, and really like it. It's one of the meds, my brain really responds to. A pdoc put me on it originally because I was dissociating a lot, and having trouble distinguishing what was reality. But I discovered it also really improved my mood as an augmentation to my AD.
And I haven't gained any weight on it.
The only side effect I have on it, is it makes me kind of sleepy, so I take it at bed time.
