Anyone noticed a difference in cognition after taking Risperdal? I missed my 3 mg dose a few times in the past and noticed that I could focus better during the time periods of it wearing off. On another occasion, I accidentally doubled the 3 mg dose and as a result seemed to finish tasks slower.
My psychiatrist tried to cross taper my AP to Ability/Aripiprazole, but it gave me side effects of earaches and anger, so I went back to Risperdal.
Although I have side effects from taking Risperdal, other than cognitive ones, which include weight gain and oversleeping, the tablet seems to be helping me with my paranoia, anxiety, and lack of sleep.
I might consider switching to Latuda/Lurasidone, as suggested by my psychiatrist, but I fear that it may not be effective as Risperdal with my symptoms. I do not want to end up with insomnia or extrapyramidal symptoms as a result of trying Latuda. Should I switch to it?
