I was on Risperdal for 4 months getting up to 5mg at one stage. My doc took me off it because one, it was making my foot twitch and two, it wasn't working. That was two weeks ago. Ever since I've been completely exhausted all the time, just barely making it to work and missing the little social life I had before ... and I thought the drugs were bad! On the plus side I just nod off to sleep now rather than doing that crazy insomnia thing evey night, but getting up in the morning is beyond tortuous, and the day's not much better. Has anyone else had this strange fatigue you just can't shake after coming off Risperidal (or any other chemical for that matter)?
