They’re not perfect, but when they work it’s a beautiful thing.
Since going back up on risperidone about a week ago I already feel better. My mood is better, less anxiety, and my thinking is clearer.
Now if I could only remember all this when I start wondering whether or not I really need the meds…
I can’t even even make it two weeks straight before going off mine anymore. Ugh.
I made it about a month. It was a tough month though. Some people on here say they have a honeymoon period off meds. Not me.
Oh did you mean you go off your meds every 2 weeks?
Yeah I meant that when I try and take my meds I have a hard time even staying on them 2 weeks at most.
I think that honeymoon you were talking about goes both ways though. Going off and even going back on meds. For me anyways.
Definitely. I’m in my honeymoon period of going back on meds. Things get better and then they level off and even fall back a little.
Well good luck staying on them 
hope it works out for you
I think when I added Abilify to my mix I got my life back
I thought about going no meds but figured I would need a stress free life that doesnt exist nor will for me but I have imagined how I could manage
My meds never really stopped working for me either
As soon as I forget one single dose I become symptomatic.
glad you feel better…risperdal was awful for me…sexual side effects.
I’m scared to go off my meds, I’ve been hospitalized so many time’s I know I would relapse.
I agree. Thank goodness for working meds!
