I had psychotic symptoms with severe depression and tried most of the atypical anti-psychotics. I must say that risperdal was my favorite. It worked fast, made me feel calm but not sedated. But I did gain a lot of weight on it and very fast. On the other hand, I gained weight on 2mg of abilify and most people don't gain weight on abilify. So it's hard to say what will happen to you. But risperdal is definitely an effective drug.
