Anyone else been on this? Did it do anything for you?
I was reading something about it not being suitable for BPD but I have to say my time on it was probably the most stable I've been. So now I'm having a bit of a moment and wondering what the heck is wrong with me lol |

It killed my rage response and shut the voices up almost immediately...
Too bad it also made me lactate  Shytti side effect! Hope you skip any horrid side effects... Sayyyy, why cant there be good side effects, like "warning, this medication may make you sexy as all hell"...

I was misdiagnosed with psychosis NOS for a time - and I was given risperidal (risperidone).
At first I slept like crazy. I gained 60 pounds in four months and I had a tremendous increase in appetite and laziness. I couldn't socialize and felt even more anxious and when I was put in stressful situations. I did much worse because I felt like I was mentally blocked from being myself. I had very painful nipples too which concerned me for a time. Ultimately, if you are given it by a psychiatrist who you feel you can trust - then it is worth trying - but I suggest small doses and staying on small doses unless absolutely necessary. When I went off risperdal - I was put on seroquel - and it was MUCH better, for me. However, now that I am off meds altogether - I am feeling much better despite having intense emotions from out of nowhere. I suppose I've been self-medicating for years - trying to suppress the emotions - and now that I am off of them - I am starting to feel them. Thanks, HD
