Akathisia and mild depression on Risperidone

Posted by ace on December 8, 2005, at 10:36:06

I took 1mg Risperidone (still on 150 Seroquel)
Within hours a mild depression and annoying akathisia set in. I took 5mg Xanax (usual dose 2mg)and it abated somewhat....i would have preferred Valium ofcourse....
A psychiatrist once told me that "they say Risperidone has few s/effects, but I am a big disbeliever in that"
I now believe him.
I will now start Abilify at 10mg mane
Wish me luck and tell me all success stories for any disorder with abilify!
Thanks guys!
Ace
Nardil 90
Seroquel 150
Xanax 2
ps- hows the appetite/weight gain profile on abilify???
