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

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.

My pdoc told me that Risperdal Consta is the most important psych med I take. So, I guess I’m on it for life.
