In reply to risperdal for anxiety, posted by jenna23 on June 12, 2002, at 18:46:31
Risperdal (2.0 mg) worked relly well for my anxiety and OCD as an augmentation to celexa. It was the calmest I've felt in years but it gave me two major p[roblems- I gained 60 pounds and I had a great deal of difficulty concentrating and had to add adderalll. But despite those problems, I still think it is an amazing drug. Every drug affects people differently so you may not gain any weight at all. I think my case was extreme. I have since switched to klonopin ( had to stop risperdal because my prolactin levels were too elevated) and that seems to be working well. I was sad when I had to stop[ the risperdal though. Best, babs
