I love risperdone. I was on 1 mg and it really helped with my OCD and depression. The depression and anxiety got worse recently because of a disease I have called gastroparesis, which is a paralyzed stomach, that led to losing my job earlier this year, and has gotten so bad I've had to move back in with my parents and we just got to where we are actually having to move my furniture out and get my house ready to sell, which has put me under an extraordinary amount of anxiety and stress. So it got upped recently to 2 mg. I take it at bedtime and can definitely feel a difference. I am much more relaxed and less depressed than I was. I have not gained weight with it, which is also a plus.
