risperdal

Avatar n tn How does one switch from Risperdal Consta (50mg Q2wks) to Invega Sustenna??
Avatar m tn Back in the 1880s, all mental hospitals were run by homeopathic doctors, and they prescribed cell salts. All of the patients got well, without side effects. Risperdal Consta can cause diabetes, heart damage, and tardive diskinesa (uncontrollable muscle movements). I have heard that paxil causes hostile behavior. Taking these drugs opens up pandora's box. They will create new health problems, and the health problems will be nasty, chronic, and incurable.
Avatar n tn Without knowing the actual dosage given, it is impossible to give you an exacting time frame. If he was given the Risperdal Consta injection, the effects would persist beyond one month. This would seem highly unlikely. In my opinion, this toxidrome will resolve without incident in a week or less. If there are no signs of improvement soon, definitely head back for the ER and demand some answers. Keep an eye on temperature and pulse, as those are two good indicators for NMS.
Avatar n tn OK I JUST STARTED TO TAKE RISPERDAL CONSTA 37.
Avatar m tn There was one side effect that I read that sort of concerned me aside from the movement side effects. Does the inability to move the eyes always go away or can it be permanent? How long does it take for it to go away if it occurs?
Avatar m tn Unless I am mistaken you have been off of the Risperdal for a month or so now. The effects of it should be gone by now. What do you mean by feeling normal? Some people say normal and they mean happy. If you are wondering how long it will take you to feel happy again- that is a complicated question but I can try to answer it by asking some questions. What do you mean by normal Clifford?
Avatar n tn I am on risperdal and I was wondering what the possible side effects are of smoking marijuana while on this medication.
Avatar m tn I had been taking rispetidon for 3 months late in 2014 without any major side effects like acute dystonia. Then decided to stop it 3 months later.Early last year in march, i was given 2 risperidon injections which gave me acute dystonia, and decided to stop taking the medication alltogether. Then june came, wen it was very cold here, i started feeling the same side effects of risperidon for a week or so before they stopped. From there i stayed six months without any side effects or withdrawal.
Avatar f tn The neurologist put him on risperdal. I just read horrible side effects, like breasts on boys. Is there a more " beginner" drug? Since we see a neurologist instead of child psychologist, I am fearful he doesn't know as much about behavioral medications. Sorry so long.
337492 tn?1212458836 I have a job interview Monday and I really want it. Anyone have luck on a low dose of Risperdal w/o yucky side effects? I need a reliable sleep aid!
2010625 tn?1329372056 I really dislike medication changes...it is always a roll of the dice to see what it is going to do...
Avatar f tn You might want to do a bit more research on the timing of taking this injection It takes a few hours for the side effects to hit and by doing your injection just before bedtime the timing is you are feeling flu-like as you are waking in the morning. As I understand it, if you adjust the timing and do it several hours before bed, the flu-like symptoms occur more while you are asleep. There is good information on the page for Rebif, which is another interferon like betaseron - http://www.
Avatar f tn Hi all, I had an injection in summer 2013 and before that I was on the pill for about a week, and took some emergency contraception before all that. On average I was on the pill for just a week and half and had injection that last 3 months. Due to side effects I didn't return for second dose and I didn't take pills again. Can anyone tell me the long term side effects because my body has not been the same again.
1967803 tn?1325679473 ve been on a titration dose for about 5 weeks now and I can still see the the bruise from my first injection. A majority of the other injection sites are red blotches that are about 2 inches in diameter. These marks are mostly visible on my thighs and stomach. Sometimes I get a little residual pain and a red welt. I don't inject in the same area twice, I pre-medicate with Ibuprofen, I pinch, inject, let go, rub, apply Hydrocortisone cream.
Avatar f tn I have a 5k walk run same day and would like to participate of I feel well enough afterwards.
Avatar n tn Risperdal could be causing side effects.It caused a lot of side effects in me and when I got better I had my Pdoc taper it to 0.5 mg and will soon stop it.
Avatar m tn Okay, let me ask this a different way? I want to get off the saphris because of the side effects but am afraid of being suicidal again. I'd heard Risperdal is used as a "booster" med for people being on anti-depressants. I take 40mg citalopram (generic version of celexa) and 225 mg Venlafaxine (for effexor) each day, then went to 5mg saphris in am and bedtime. I wondered about using Risperdal hoping not to have the same side effects.
Avatar f tn Is there anything we can do to ease the side effects.........The high fever was the most difficult to bare for my hubby after the shot......Thanks in advance to u all for giving wonderful suggestions always.......
886552 tn?1241590297 Someone I now was on the same medication because of being diagnosed with schizophrenia. He had side effects like you describe. Turns out he was misdiagnosed and is now off the meds. He no longer has any of the symptoms and is perfectly fine. He was on the meds. only 6 months however. So if you feel you are in a similar situation, I encourage you to discuss it with your doctor and see if the meds. are really needed. Never just stop taking meds. though.
1798419 tn?1315810427 told me that Effexor may attribute to weight gain, and it DOES state this in the side effects printed from the manufacturer, so your Dr. is incorrect. Do your homework and don't trust all the Doctors, find a good one, and also consider natural health options if you possibly can. Good luck!
1625195 tn?1332178662 Is there any way possible to cut the hunger side-effects? Or any tips to battle the nausea that it causes? Before this whole medicine nonsense was happening, I was trying to lose weight (safely!) and this hunger pain and headaches are making this goal really difficult. And the nausea is making day to day tasks harder than the depression was making things. And this is the last round of questions, promise! Its about the Citalopram/Celexa. There is a suit going against Celexa.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone! I'm a 2B and just started my treatment 2 nights ago with my first injection. It went really well, and I still don't notice any side effects (sx?). I am taking pegintron and rebetol. Is this normal? I have been reading about all the side effects and had me pretty scared, but so far, I feel fine??
886552 tn?1241590297 My comment is kind of void! My side effects were just at start up of the drug! Good luck, I truly hope things get better.
