Risperidone. Thumbs down. Started crying

There r 2 types of people, one who can tolerate risperidone and one who can’t. I’m the one who can’t.

Just took low risperidone dose 0.5mg last night. And today had huge anxiety/slight paranoia and literally started crying twice in front of whole family.

I’ve stopped risperidone. But it will take few days for me to get better since risperidone has long half life.

I’m still feeling like crying as I write this.

I think I will only be stable on clozapine which I have been taking since 5 years and not any other drug

I’ve been taking 1mg for about 3 weeks this time, and all it’s been doing is taking away my emotions and my ability to feel and enjoy anything. I’m stopping. Is this how it’s supposed to ‘work?’ I’d rather have strong emotions and the ability to enjoy music, feel and have energy than be like a lifeless vegetable who eats non-stop and has no motivation or desire to do anything. I’m wondering if I should actually try other meds or give up on them altogether.
