I’m on 25 mgs risperdal consta. I often sleep less than 7 hours at night , but can make it up sometimes with daytime naps.

I also take 4mg of risperidone.
I sleep pretty nicely but I also take Depakote.
I easily sleep 8 hours or more a night, plus a couple of naps here and there.

Risperidone injection I’m on. The side effects are terrible for me, but I take abilify for the side effects, and they work well together for me. I have no side effects at the moment. If I feel like risperidone is dominating my body I take Abilify.

I couldn’t sleep on it. I spent nights laying in bed wide awake.

I was on it for like two months and gained 30 pounds in that time. Switched to abilify and have been on it ever since.

I’m on it. No real problems other than being asexual now and the itching.

When I was put on Paliperidone (Risperdal Injection) I felt like my life was over.

I think I still have sperm when I masturbate like once every 6 months. I guess my testosterone spikes or something like that. Less than before though.

Yes one other thing. I don’t sleep like I used to. I don’t seem to get tired in the same way. I just close my eyes and eventually sleep. Something is different. It may be that I’m not dreaming and I don’t get tired anymore.

I think that’s an ideal time to sleep. I’d sleep 12 hrs every day if I could.

Respiridone made me fat, sexless and unfunny.

So I switched to Abilify…

I’ve lost weight, my libido is back, and my sense of humour has returned.
