Risperidone

i think i have to stop taking it,
it’s giving me pinpoint pupils, intense headaches,
sensitivity to light.
i get so that i can’t see properly, headaches so bad i can’t stand up or open my eyes…
anyone else get anything similar?

this ain’t normal, is it?
it’s just that i thought it was working well.
i’ve already switched meds so many times. ah.

It says it’s rare but possible.

I wasn’t on rispeedone long but only noticed sexual side affects really. That was just me tho.

haha thanks. i didn’t actually think to google it.
gonna call my doc i’m havin so much trouble seeing right now,
it’s like no light is making it’s way in through my eyes

That sounds real rough and…I had that symptom when I had an allergic reaction to an extra strength ibuprofen.

My eyes got real red, couldn’t open them especially in light, wow that was a bad night. It was thanksgiving.

Yeah call him for sure.

Are you still withdrawing from drugs?
Could it be from this?

Withdrawal symptoms can last months.

I have been on Risperidone for 20 years and am on the oral solution now (1.5 ml.). Is anyone on the oral solution? …My kidneys are starting to feel a little funny. The best to everyone with Schizophrenia.
