Anyone taking a low dose of Risperdal under 3 mg?
I’m currently on 3 mg and I’m seriously considering going to 2mg of Risperdal
It would be better for my TD symptoms and I’d hopefully be more alert and focused.
If you are on a low dose how are you functioning?
I’ve never taken Risperdal.
Whats the max dose of it?
16mg for schizophrenia but that dose is rarely used
2 mg might be too low for you. Be careful. Wish you all the best.
Thanks @TheCanuk
Yes I have it helped as a young child/middle school after 13 it didn’t do anything
I was on 1mg for “behavioural problems” I had my worst and first psychotic episode when my parents said I could go the summer without it not knowing I also had psychosis ontop of the alleged “behavioural problems”
Also when I was 14 i completely lost it they raised it to 4mg and none of it worked
I’m glad it’s helping you and I thought it was just a scam medication until i heard the people here say it helped them
Im on a low dose considering my weight. Just recently went up .5mg in the morning. I take a dose in the morning anywhere from 7-11am then about 2 pm with other sedatives. Its really effective for me. 2.5 mg morning and afternoon
Im on 2mg Risperidone combined with Paliperidone.
I couldn’t tolerate this drug
Made me feel awful
Which combined dose are you on a day?
Sounds like you are on a total dose of 5mg a day
That’s not a low dose @ablue
Guess its high then. The low dose doesnt work for me anymore
I started off at a low dose when I took it but had to increase because of symptoms. I think I took 12 mg at one point. It didn’t work as well for me as others do. I hope you can find a good solution to your situation. Good vibes to you.
Thanks @Ribbit 1555
I’m on 3 mg of Risperdal. But it’s in combination with Seroquel and Geodon.
Im on 100mg depot of uzedy which i believe is 2mg. Anything high i get extreme akathesia but i want able to get to the schizophrenia dose of 150. I hope its helping
