1742269 tn?1315381633 OK, i know i posted a question about Abilify, but i have decided i am not going to pay that much. So, my pharmacy found a medication that was a much lower cost out of pocket pay. I have to ask what people think of it. Problems/issues. Concerns? im so pose to take 2 mg. a day. i have had the issue of high blood pressure, which i am taking meds for, which i believe was from my last anti psychotic, i also had severe weight gain.
1260240 tn?1336077448 The psychiatrist has now put Glen (16) ASD on prozac (20ml liquid) once a day alongside his 1mg twice a day risperidone (was on 2mg twice daily but had to cut it down due to Glen becoming constipated). Glen's anxiety is still sky high on the risperidone, been on it nearly 8 weeks so she thought she would try prozac as well. Do you think the prozac will help my son?
Avatar n tn I am writing for answers for my 15 Year old son with Autism. He has been on Risperdal for about 5 years now and was taking 4mg x 2 daily, HIGH, I KNOW. He is 5'10" 165 lbs. For about the past 6 months he has started with some new behaviors. I relayed these to his Psychiatrist and she has had no comment on them. I researched them myself and found they mimic Tardive dyskinesia in many ways. I have found a new Psychiatrist but can not get in to see her for approx 2 more weeks.
Avatar m tn My question is on tapering risperidone how long does one need to taper risperidone from a dose of 1mg to 0.5mg in days or weeks?.
603015 tn?1329862973 I take risperidone for 7 years now with nothing of the sort, although of course i get from time to time the above because all pschy persons get it, people who are nervous, people in distress, etc... Mind you risperidone/risperdal is one of the oldest atypical if not the oldest, besides it's an antipsychotic. For example with spastic colon they "cure" it by giving say dogmatil which another typical AP.
574118 tn?1305135284 i originally went to a doctor because my parents had found out i was self injuring. i told the doctor alot more than my parents knew.. such as when i got really hyper i heard voices, i felt invincible, i was doing really un-like-me things.. and when i was depressed i would go anywhere if people were involved.. i hated life, i told her everything that was going on in my head and why i think i was doing some of the things i was doing..
574118 tn?1305135284 I was driven manic by an AD and landed smoothly by seroquel. That was 3 years ago. So I kept the seroquel and since it's good for depression I wasn't in need for an AD. Also since no AD then no mania. So I am almost stable on seroquel. As for the equivalence I was interested to know how much it's equal to risperidone because I was on the latter for 6 years 1mg. By taking seroquel I was sad as I augmented my drugs due to my 1st mania.
574118 tn?1305135284 However, a few days ago, I started to feel my dopamine is going down lowering my mood and energy. I am on risperidone 1mg, seroquel 150mg (a strange combo) which worked well. So i removed 25mg seroquel. I resemble this by throwing one bag of sand to lift the balloon. My 2 questions: -- If I keep throwing more bags, is it OK so long it lifts me up. But suppose this doesn't lift me up in the end, but helps me to survive, is this OK as far as BP handling is concerned, i.e.

2216810 tn?1420856876 Any medication that changes the chemical constitution of your brain can make things worse before they get better. I think you should give it more time to work. I am familiar with risperidone. I didn't care for it myself, as it made me feel like I was on a morphine high all day. Stay with what your doc says, and let him know how you are feeling now. If you continue to feel like it's just not working, there are other meds that can be tried.
Avatar n tn In any event, once you have results on the tests, I hope his doctor will have a good plan of action. What a good mom to notice these changes and to be concerned enough to check them out. I hope all will be OK.
Avatar f tn 1.5 months ago, I started experiencing my heart pounding and racing right after taking over the counter diuretics (Pamabrom) for a few days. The palpitations occurred everyday and I would have these palpitations several hours at a time. Since then, I've done EKGs, an echocardiogram, event monitor, and holter monitor. The cardiologists say that they found nothing concerning despite 2 occasions when my heart rate went well above 130 bpm.
Avatar n tn Withdrawel dyskinesia can happen when risperidone is stopped quickly. You want to tell your doctor immediately. They can go away over time but could take a while. Tardive dyskinesia is a bit different and may not go away. Definately give your doctor a call about this situation. Obviously, be religious about giving that medication at the appropriate time each day. If he does eventually discontinue it, a very slow taper is best. good luck. Always frightening as a parent.
Avatar f tn he said it is very important to get both the risperidone and medikenect working complimentary to each other and not against each other. in the meantime we are waiting to see if a group of psych experts are available to offer some therapy for him (art/play therapy) and some support for us. A half term holiday is coming up at the end of May and we are organising ourselves so tat we can sit down with him then and set some boundaries and behaviour modifications that he can begin to work on.
Avatar m tn Hello sorry if this has been discussed before but I'm new to the forum. My mother is very tired, often confused and has a shocking memory. She also gets up at night and looks for things or wanders around. The consultant has prescribed risperidone, although we were hoping for Aricept. I am very concerned about this as internet research suggests it is for aggressive behaviour and will result in oversedation even drooling.
Avatar m tn I am in full blown withdrawal symptoms from stopping risperidone with anxiety and my psychiatrist is back 5 days later.I had to stop because of side effects at 1 mg.What should I do?
Avatar m tn I have no idea if this pain is related to elevated prolactin from risperidone, so I reduced risperidone to 1 mg per day, not sure what the effect of this is going to be (I have not had psychotic episodes recently so I hope that this is going to be OK). I have also been vegan for 8 years, and two weeks ago I started eating dairy and fish, so I might have pelvic pain from that.
Avatar n tn I think I stayed on this treatment for 3 months, then I went to another town to try to get a job, but even while on that treatment, the vomiting started appearing again slowly and I lost faith in the treatment, stopping it. It could be argued that I had the usual anxiety-like feeling of going to another town, starting fresh and that kind of thing...
Avatar f tn I am on some beta blockers right now but I would like to get off the meds. Ive been on them for 4 months. This past month I tried to get off of them and started up with my PVC;s again. My heart is completely healthy. Any suggestions or ideas?
1649932 tn?1348082640 ive been on risperidone for i month now in im feeling sad today i hope i get better in i was just wondering if your on risperidone in do you have up in down days cause thats how i feel one minute im ok the next im depressed.
Avatar f tn I feel like maybe we should go back to the risperidone even though she gains weight and even though she was still aggressive. It wasn't as bad as it is now. Our quality of life is getting worse as she gets older. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn She needs to be seen by an orthopaedician to rule out this as an effect of injury ad also check for an missed fractures. Then only could the muscle stiffness be blamed to be due to risperidone. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Essentially, they get involved in something and ignore the warning signs and then just let it go - since they tend to to things without thinking. ADHD medication(stim meds) would help this a bit since it might slow the child down. I doubt if Risperdone would. Over on the child behavior forum - questions like this come up a lot as a lot of kids do have these kinds of problems. You might try posting there for some of there ideas.
