Anybody have experience with?

I've been on it for about two years at several different doses. As high as 3, and recently 2 for a few months. I got a really stiff neck and back about a week ago. I cut the dose and called MD. I've had problems with it before and we cut the dose, it went away after about a week. He wrote for Cogentin which I picked up today and have taken. It might be helping some. I figure I need a couple doses to know. I had been taken Benadryl as a substitute since both have anti-cholenergic effects.

Anyhow, I'm off the Risperdal completely, my last dose was .5mg Wednesday night. I feel like I'm in a different world but in an OK way. I've been on manic spectrum for a few weeks. I went wild on a credit card without meaning to and couldn't stop myself. So if Risperdal is so great, why was I manic. I'm so glad to be off of it and am fine with being in a state of flux for a little bit.

I have not started the Zyprexa he wrote for. I want to see how things go. I slept plenty last night for first night in over a week. I feel normal yet totally out of it. I've been taking walks every few hours. I don't want to be around anyone really, and just ride through these next few days.

Again, if Risperdal, or anything else, is so great, why did I have a manic episode over the summer? Why was I having manic symptoms two weeks ago? It's a joke. I'm so glad I stopped taking it, I feel like it is poison.

I regret ever taking it and that it robbed parts of my personality. Now I get that back.
