I also experienced increase anxiety when I went from 3mg to 4mg of risperidone. I starting to feel better but my paranoia has not decrease yet. I have been on this dose for 5 weeks.
My paranoia has not gotten any better.
If anything it’s a bit worse.
My paranoia was very severe now it’s just severe. I hope it gets better.
I wish you well @Raven.
Thank you very much
They started me on Risperdone to “build me up” in my blood for the Paliperodone Jab couple years ago. And yes i was flaming anxious. I used to jump like a cat outta bag when the postie visited. So it might be the Risperadone. I went nutty on it to be honest - but it was noted that i was a Sz “in relapse” .
I would stick with the dose - i reckon it will get easier. At least suffer it for a month - and then see if your dosage is messing you up. Its hard to tell if its your MH or the drugs from here.
Give it a go. It might be your brain reacting (if you know what i mean). Sorry i cant be more helpful.
Thanks @Naarai you were extremely helpful!
my doc started me on a high dose of risperdal 8mg. but i wanted to taper off to 6. but i’m back on 8 years later with occasional paranoia, which i can control. sniffing mainly and not following those thoughts. i check out my reality then redirect to something else.
