Risperdal caused weight gain in the first 2 weeks and I started lactating LOL yeah I dumped it

Invega which is a refined version of Risperdal was weight neutral and no issues with prolactin levels.

Honestly it was one of the better Med combos I had found, you know how most all meds carry the side effect of dry mouth? Well not so much with Invega, it lists drooling as a possible side effect.

While I was thrilled my dry mouth and the constant pain wasn’t a problem o had to lay a towel over my pillow at night, eventually I got a rash all around my lips and skin just cracked and would bleed. Chelititis it’s caused by drooling. That happened about 9 months into taking it.

Now not everyone will drool as much and not everyone will get that awful rash.

I’ve never heard anyone complain of weight gain in it.

Might be worth asking your Doctor about. Some insurance companies require people try Risperdal first because Invega is expensive, it’s also available in a monthly shot which many people like.

Just something to think about.
