Risperdal is nasty!!!!!!!! - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Message Board

After a few days of this crap I quit. My I.Q. dropped about to the intelligence of a monkey or dog. Also I felt so weak and run-down my strength was about equal to an 90 year old. It took me 2-3 days to recover.
The Anti-psychotics are best for people with violent mood swings, bipolar, schizoprhenia. I dont find them useful for OCD. All they do is make you crazy and psycho. I find high doses of SSRI and behavoral therapy the only way.

Be careful of A-P!!!!!! they are hardcore

I quit my risperdal too. I felt too weird on it! I tried a couple days at a smaller dose, but, I just didn't like the way I felt!

I have no choice but to take risperdal because it's the only thing that has helped my psychotic symptoms but I was told by my pdoc that it's terrible for ocd..ap's tend to make ocd symptoms worse.
