RJ, I haven't tried the meds you listed but I've been on Risperdal, and various benzos. Whenever I say that they made me feel terrible, I'm refering to impaired motor-control. As though I were trying to lift my body wearing one of those lead-aprons they use taking x-rays. Or like moving under water. For me it's always about extreme sedation (without the sleep that usually follows). I can't get my body to move at the same speed(normal speed) as my brain signals. My head feels heavy, like extreme congestion - with vertigo and all.
And then there was the wicked "lousiness" I felt coming off of it.
