Do the injection hurt ?
Is it sedating ?
Anyone on risperdal As only medicine and doing good ?
Does it help depression or other way ?
The injections hurt a little but only if you don’t relax fully. It’s not very sedating but nothing is sedating for me. I’m doing great on it.
I’m on Risperdal tablets not Consta and doing rather well on it.
No mania, little depression and no psychosis.
Risperdal is a potent antipsychotic that has some side effects but worth a try @Yellowdiamond
I am on pills Risperdal and have never been doing so good overall. 0 positive and 0 manic symptoms but still negative symptoms which is ok as the first two are worse.
I am only on Risperdal as psych med but never suffered from depression.
Im afraid of needles so i fear the injection.
Im gonna try it. First time on injection.
I have read your posts.
the injection doesn’t hurt really… ask them to give it in the bum and then relax the leg of the side that you getting it in.
Im on risperidone pills its the only antipsychotic that i know i have used i dont get much side effects so far if i stay on antipsychotics forever this should be the one.
My pdoc told me that Risperdal Consta is the most important psych med I take. So, I guess I’m on it for life.
I’m on risperidone injection. It’s ok.
