I honestly dont think that the Risperidone is working like it should.
I recently had my dose increased to 4mg and I am getting more paranoid every day.
Im now too paranoid to stay at my new place and Im too paranoid to deal with caseworkers.
I think its time I cautiously try a new med.
Maybe low dose Haldol?
Maybe Rexulti?
Maybe - something else.
Im tired of living in constant Fear.
Getting paranoid in public!
Ughh!! 
Iām really sorry that you are going through this, friend. I hope that you find a med that works soon.
Thank you @metime! 
Have you ever taken Abilify? I do not remember?
Have you tried Geodon ?
I have tried Abilify before but it made me too amped up!
Iām concerned with Geodons cardiac side effects - not interested.
Thinking about trying Rexulti.
Rexulti is very closely related to Abilify. I hope it works for you and doesnāt amp you up like the Abilify.
Have you taken both? @frencheese
Yeah this is a concern of mine.
Thereās always low dose Haldol 
I havenāt taken Rexulti. Iām on Abilify now. Abilify gave me akithisia at a higher dose.
Have you thought about Vraylar?
Vraylar didnāt work for me, plus it really amped me up worse than Abilify!
I really hope Rexulti is the āitā drug for you then. Sounds like youāve been through a lot with these med changes.
I have tried risperidone three times, abilify, fanapt, invega, Latuda and haldol. I currently take 160 MGS of Latuda and haldol Depot they are working great
Wave I hope you and I both find something that works. Iām a complete mess but luckily I see my pdoc tomorrow. Iām probably going to end up on prolixin. I would like haldol but it causes diarrhea. Keep us updated on your med sit.
I really hope things work out for you @roxanna! 
Thank you and I will see what happens with my pdoc.
She may just keep me on risperidone.
Why canāt you get off risperidone if itās not working? Or helping
Iād say itās working but maybe not enough.
Iām still getting some paranoia.
Iāve tried a lot of the Atypicals and risperidone is the most effective so far.
I donāt know if switching will be beneficial in the end.
Last time I switched meds I ended up in the Hospital.
Are you taking a high mg of risperdal?
I got it raised to 4mg.
Itās got a lot of side effects, I really donāt want to raise it more.
No I was thinking maybe lower. I always found the higher the dosage the increased side effects I guess duh but hell I canāt tell whether what is doing what when meds are mixed.
Which AP are you on now @roxanna?
I forgot.
Perphenazine it worked for seven years .
