In reply to Risperdal ever make any one worse?, posted by 4wd on October 31, 2005, at 20:55:28
Hey 4wd,
If I assume that your taking risperdal for bipolar.. I also must assume that your prone to mood swings... I personally dont beleive that risperdal at that dose is having a significant influece on your psyche.... I think that your experiencing a natural mood fluctuation present in bipolars.. i think u should stick with it and done hesistate to increase the dose.. just my opinion, hope u feel better regardless..
bps> Okay, so I started Risperdal very low on Thursday night - .125mg. Didn't notice much on Friday, jsut a little tired. Friday night another .125mg. Okay on Saturday. Saturday night up to .25mg. Woke up very scared Sunday morning, crying a lot all morning. That afternoon felt quite apathetic, tranquil but just very detached. So that night took .125mg again. Monday morning (today) woke up extremely scared and have been very, very depressed all day and scared all day, more than usual.
