Could it be the Risperdal?

Posted by Dinah on October 7, 2004, at 7:47:19

I've been taking Risperdal far more often lately than usual. Usually I take one or two every month or two. But I've been very agitated lately and I find Risperdal works well as a more potent tranquilizer when Klonopin doesn't cut it, so I've been taking it frequently for the past three weeks.

Last night I woke up to find myself biting the very very tip of my tongue. It hurt, but I couldn't wake up enough to stop biting. I couldn't wake up enough to wake up my husband for help. I couldn't move. I'm not sure how long it was, or what happened to end it. But when I woke up this morning, the very very tip of my tongue was sore and numb, and if I looked very closely, you could see two (one far more pronounced than the other) approximately tooth edge sized spots where the taste buds are cut.

I experienced sleep paralysis on Neurontin. It didn't feel exactly the same, but I'm guessing that's what this was, and I'm wondering if it's something I should mention to my pdoc.

I am in absolute terror of losing the Risperdal. He pulled me off the Neurontin immediately when I reported the sleep paralysis. If I lose the Risperdal, I'm not quite sure how I'm going to get through what is shaping up to be a very difficult period in my life, and is appearing to get even more difficult.
