But admit that I need them and that they vastly improve my quality of life. Still, I’ve gained nearly 20 lbs since re-starting risperdal! It’s not so much that it makes me hungry, it’s more like it messes with my satiety so I can eat and eat and still eat more. I’ve also been more impulsive lately which doesn’t help anything either. I need to get back to working out.
My psychotic symptoms are probably like 90% gone though. I still get mild visual hallucinations, seeing lights and whatnot, but other than that pretty much nothing. The only thing that really keeps me on it is that it takes away the paranoia and the demons…
But still! Agh! These medications are terrible! We need to give tons of feedback to the companies making them demanding better quality or something.
Aside from my ranting I’m still doing well and taking my meds regularly. And I’ve finally sorted out my schedule for next year and have a plan for the future, so that’s good. I’m just grumpy about these meds.
