Re: Risperdal anyone on it?

Hello, I am on Risperdal, and it works well for me. I am on 4mgs. Zyprexa didn't work so well for me. Not sure how long its been around.

My daughter was on Risperdal for a few years. The med really helped her with hallucinations, but it wasnt worth the side effects that came with it. Dizzy all the time, face bloated up really bad from non stop eating...a ton of stretch marks. She was on a pretty high dose though, so maybe a smaller dosage wouldnt bring on such side effects. Good luck
p.s. eventually we left Risperdal and tried Abilify. So far so good...its been almost 2 years now.
