I am not psychotic, but my shrink wants me to consider a very low dose of Risperdal for this disjointed feeling I often get. (It's as if parts of me are outside of me. He says he's had patients shake this feeling for the first time in their lives after trying this drug at a low dose.)
For one thing, I dont know if I want to add ONE MORE DAMN DRUG to the diet.
And for another, I'm kinda curious about side effects. One is tardive dyskenisia, which sounds scary. Is this effect permanent?
Another, less serious but enough to bum me out just the same, is weight gain.I would appreciate hearing from anybody who has had experience with this drug. Thanks!
