Common Questions and Answers about Risperdal onset of action

risperdal

It was another forum that I got the info about Seroquel. On this forum someone was talking about there being a tort action lawsuit against the makers of Seroquel. That it is causing excessive weight gain, diabetes, very high blood pressure in people taking this antipsychotic. I am wanting to know further about these complications caused by Seroquel. My 28 year old son has been on this med for approximately 4 years now. He has gained a lot of weight on it.
One of the current docs has diagnosed manic depression, and we've tried risperdal, depakote, seraquel, and zyprexa, all with little effect but the depakote, which in a rare reaction nearly killed him). The other current doc says he has plain-old depression, and tried effexor (which made him homicidal), and then said no, he has psycho-motor seizures and we're currently trying neurontin, which does nothing for him at all.
Again and many times when i put my shoes i like to put them spaced and parallel, of course now it's less but when under stress these things appear. Why i was sure at the onset of my disease that i am OCD is simple because my father is one. He was never manic yes he said during his life he was a little depressed but never alarmed like everybody else, but when i fell ill he started to go back in history to realize that he is OCD.
My doctor has given me no other course of action or diagnosis. Blurred vision and head pressure seem very related. Both are better upon waking for about 5 minutes (longer if I do not stand up). When I have a runny nose it is significantly better. My fatigue is not significantly affected by anything. Getting better sleep helps etc. but to no great extent.
I was getting them at the time but that was because of the antipsychotics I was on which do cause those, although the atypicals clearly much less than the typicals (Haldol and the older ones were heavily likely to cause prolactin elevation which resulted in a decreased libido, the atypicals from Risperdal onwards far less so) to cause that.
