I take 3 mg of risperidone daily and stupidly allowed my prescription to run out. The refil wasn't ready yesterday and then today I completely forgot about it until after the pharmacy closed.

So now it's been 2 days without it, and I'm starting to feel really wierd. My head hurts, not headache exactly more like my brain is fighting with itself. My vision's funny, I'm a little sick to my stomach and I'm having hot and cold flashes, that and I'm getting really paranoid again.

Anyone else experience somethting similar coming off Risperidone? can't wait to get my refill tomorrow.

Oh man, I am never going to let myself run out again. My vision got so funny that it was barely safe for me to drive home & I totally couldn't eat anything.

I got the prescription filled and immediately took my dosage but still felt funny for a couple of days.

I've never had such a strong reaction to missing a med - scary.
