I did a quick search for side effects for Risperidone; "Common side effects include insomnia (about 8% of patients), weight gain, agitation, anxiety and headache."
If it keeps making you feel sick, tell your doctor. I wonder why she would prescribe a drug that has anxiety as a side effect when anxiety is you main problem. She must have something else in mind.
> I also saw my doc yesterday, and suggested she up my dosage of Effexor XR because, although I have been feeling better, the anxiety is still unbearable at times. I am currently on 150mg. of Effexor. Instead, she requested I add 0.5mg. of Risperidone before bedtime.
