Risperdal is making me sick!

I recently had my Risperdal dose increased from 4mg to 5mg and I’ve been getting these bad headaches that last for hours at a time.
Also I have been feeling nauseous and extra drugged up.
I don’t see my psychiatrist until 3 more weeks but I’ll text her to let her know I’m cutting down on the Risperdal starting tomorrow.

I feel ■■■■■■■ sick!

I can’t argue with your approach and I think that is sound. If your headaches stop then it’s the cause. Otherwise check in with your regular gp. Never a bad thing touching base with a regular doc if something comes up that is unusual.

No @rogueone my headaches started exactly when I increased the Risperdal.
I just feel physically ill in general.

Thanks @lekkerhondje

My doctor said that I can begin to cut down on the Risperdal right away.
I’ll also begin with the 500mg Depakote
