New to risperidone

Yeah, I had to change it due to costly price of Vraylar and my insurance didn’t list it as a covered medicine.
I’m on 10 mg of Aripiprazole right now.
Well that’s good, I know sleep at times can be hard to come by.

now I am on risperidone and i hear voice and have delusions… I am having an episode.

You didn’t get on it that long ago, right? IT might take a few days to weeks for it to take full effect.
However, when I was on it, it pretty much shut off the switch of my symptoms pretty quickly.
IF this problem persists, you should tell your doctor.

I take Risperdal Consta 37.5 mg depot injections every two weeks. The only side effects I get from this med are: no libido and dry mouth. It works very well against hallucinations, delusions and paranoia.

Risperidone is a good med. It helped me into a remission some years ago. I’m taking amisulpride now which is also a good med. They both helped me.

I have no libido and no erections since… I dont remember… :grin:

How are you doing today @Gina2 @Om_Sadasiva ?
