My doctor had me start on 10mg and now I’m going up to 20mg. From the posts I’ve seen on this site 20mg seems high. So I was wondering if some of you taking it could tell me what dose your on, so maybe I could talk her down to 10 or 15mg. I don’t like being over medicated.

I think 15mg was my starting dose.

20mg was too much for me. 10mg was too little. 15mg seems fine. But everyone’s different.
I did feel like a zombie on 20mg though.
It takes about 2 weeks for your body to adjust to the higher dose so don’t jump to immediate conclusions when you’re on it.

I was on 25mg and my negative symptoms were much less than now on Risperdal 4mg. I had to stop it due to addiction and hypersexuality issues.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe it has something to do with the persons size too. But one guy on here said he only takes 10mg. I think it’s a guessing game to some extent. I just want to get a feel for what works for most people. I want the least medicated that still works. I don’t want that “zombie” effect of being too medicated.

I currently take 10mg, but I started on 5mg. The 5mg wasn’t enough because I started hallucinating on it. With 10mg the hallucinations and paranoia went away.

I’m on 15 now it’s the perfect dose. Not over medicated or anything and it’s effective.
I could only handle 10 for so long
