t make me you feel or bad to know that others were on the same med, simply because you will receive all kinds of contradicting views. what works for me may not for you
for me i have been on risperidone for 8 years from the onset of my bp yet 1mg only, i find it ok. now i added seroquel for my mixed states 25mg. that is all the AP's I take. Others find it bringing anxiety. but the latter is a secondary effect to all pschy illnesses so you can't tell.
my 4 year old with autism was on risperdal, he had some levels run high so his dr decided to switch him to Tenex...he took his last risperdal 1mg tablet 3 times/day on friday night 11-12-10...he started the tenex 1/2 of a 1mg tablet twice/day saturday morning. since sunday he has been very irritable and aggressive, with very frequent outburst of screaming constantly, hitting himself in the head and bitting, pinching, hitting, kicking, pushing, and scratching himself and others...
I've been taking risperdal for almost 3 weeks and whenever I smoked some weed, it made my high really intense and pretty scarey. Is weed interfering with the medication?
I know other parents who have had hormes prescribed to help with sleep. I also think that once you get a diagnosis that will help you know what kind of things to do because alot of the agression might be down to sheer frustration at not being able to communicate, or because you are doing things that are just rubbing him up the wrong way (from an autistic perspective).
Clozapine or Clozaril can cause severe blood dyscrasias, like low white blood cell counts, which can be dangerous and lead to infection. I think you are supposed to get your blood drawn every few months when you are on that. Tardive dyskinesia is reversible if caught early, I think after a year of being on the same drug and ignoring the symptoms can you have the permanent kind. I would try the resperdal. See what happens.
Hi. Wow, do you have a lot on your plate, and kudos to you for being so involved and on top of your son's care. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. To answer your question, yes, it is possible, and it is explicitly possible with Risperdal. From the FDA:

There is an increased risk. Please get the glucose tolerance tests and blood glucose tests done as soon as possible.
Hi, I had been on Risperdal for about 15 months and I recently stopped taking Risperdal. First of all, my periods which had stopped shortly after starting Risperdal returned and my breasts which were producing milk dried up but now I suffer from insomnia. I sometimes get only 1 1/2 hours of sleep a night. Will this go away on its own?
s and ADHD medications are the WORST medications to treat PANDAS Children. If you suspect your child has PANDAS do what you can to get the correct diagnosis even if it means going out of state. Do not go to a PANDAS specialist that is also a psychiatrist they will try and mask the behaviors with the antipsychotic drugs and SSR's and every other kind of psych medication out there. These medications make PANDAS children 100 times worse.
I would like to know what would be a good allergy medicine that can be taken with risperdal. I have given my son benadryal in the past and he would become calm but since the risperdal he gets very hyper and stays up all night. My son has seasonal allergies. I have given him claritin and it does not work. Thank you for any advice you can give.
Cold turkey going without Risperdal would be very rare for a doctor to recommend. Are you sure this was what your doctor wanted you to do? Again, this is not a normal recommendation and especially for a 4 mg dose. You need to see your doctor again. Now, it's been 2 months. Not sure if any withdrawal symptoms would still be going on. Is there any chance that the insomnia is related to the bipolar? Risperdal helps control mania, could that be returning?
My son has tourette syndrome. He has intermittent explosive disorder. He explodes, and then, when sent to " get himself together" he comes back fine. After he explodes, he will run and hide to give himself time to recoup. (A problem at malls and other social situations. He is eight, and now he's having problems at school. Everyone agrees he's great after regaining control, he just can't seem to anticipate what sets him off.
You may not become suicidal again so it may not be an issue. If you are concerned then make sure you come off under medical supervision and with the support of your husband.
I have learnt that suicide is often a way of communicating distress. If you are able to identify the feelings and work through them you are much less likely to become as over-whelmed.
I should apologize. There are some good doctors out there.
t tolerate Risperdal and need an antipsychotic you could ask your psychiatrist about changing to a different one. Even though they all basically work in the same manner they are different enough that one might easily be tolerable for you than another. And some are more effective as mood stabilizers but you could ask your psychiatrists which ones.
Same thing as you, My risperdal was being replaced with the abilify. My lithium stayed. With my risperdal, The cogentin went also. Abilify didn't really do much fpr me. I don't remember exactly what time of day I took it, I let my dr. decide because at time time, Abilify was brand new. i was one of the first people on it for bipolar disorder.
As it turned out, I ended up being on low dose Risperdal.
Recently I was asked to help a young man who had been taking Risperdal for a psychotic illness and who noticed that while taking this his penis and testicles seemed to shrink. There is very little information in the literature about this. We know that Risperdal causes dopamine receptor blockade. Dopamine in turn keeps prolactin levels in check. Therefore Risperdal allows for a raise in prolactin levels and this may cause genital shrinkage.

Risperdal is a so-called "blacklisted" drug because of the high incidence of fatalities in the elderly. It is not approved nor appropriate for a use in an "agitated" eighty year old patient.
The Department of Geriatrics at Johns Hopkins University conducted a dedicated seminar at Mount Sinai Hospital geriatrics department three years ago warning against inappropriate use of risperdal in the elderly.
