In reply to Risperdal questions, posted by Dinah on November 6, 2002, at 0:11:57

Dinah- I have to say that risperdal, for me, has been miraculous. My pdoc added it to 60 mg of celexa when on that dose I was still very irritable and very obsessive. It has completely stopped my obsessions and dramatically reduced my anxiety. I don't feel irritable and one amazing side effect for me was that I used to have severe neck problems due to two car accidents. Because Ib was so anxious, my neck would know up and cause me great pain. Nothing seemeed to help. The risperdal has helped me relax to the point where I no longer need a chiropractor or physical therapist. The knots are simply gone. Everyone reacts very differently to each drug, but risperdal does not tire me out. HOWEVER, I have gained about 40 pounds on it and am really struggling with that. as I understand it, risperdal is notorious for weight gain. Overall though, I am so happy with it. I used to have my own kind of meltdown on a regular basis and I feel so much more stable on the risperdal.
