If you've been on Risperdal long term, does the hunger you get with it diminish some? Let me know. Thanks.

For me it went away after about three weeks but I gained fifteen pounds in those three weeks so that wasn't fun.

Risperdal has sooo many bad side effects... unless you have a severe case of schizophrenia, I would look for other options.

Risperdal and Seroquel were two drugs that increased my appetite infinitely. Didn't seem to fade even after a number of months. Just tried to learn to bite my tongue until I could try something else. It's rough. Good luck!

Well I've tried many other aps. Geodon gave me sever akathisia and made me nauseous. Latuda gave me severe akathisia. Zyprexa severe weight gain. Seroquel severe weight gain and nightmares. Risperdal has just been around longer and hence the bad reputation. Give it time, latuda the miracle drug will go through the same thing. But I'm not gonna argue about it this is merely my opinion.
Risperdal helps me the most, just hate the hunger...But I'm thinking of trying invega or latuda at a lower dose. I'm not sure right now just now stabilizing... |

The hunger never went away for me. I gained an alarming amount of weight so quickly I was taken off it as quickly and safely as possible.
I didn't mind coming off of it though, it didn't do much to stabilize me.
