> Do you take the risperdal in the morning? Its possible the risperdal is wearing off by the afternoon. Maybe a afternoon dose. But you don't like the risperdal, why? Should you take a different AP? Maybe abilify or zyprexa? Abilify would be more energizing, zyprexa more calming.
I take Risperdal at night. So, it could still be wearing off.
My doctor says this restlessness can't be akasthisia because I don't get it every day.
I don't like Risperdal because it messes with my hormones. My periods are messed up, boobs hurt, I'm more emotional, I'm cramping when I shouldn't be...tons of fun.
I don't know about another AAP. My diagnosis is panic disorder and MDD. The Risperdal was given to try to calm me down while the Nardil kicks in. It isn't exactly working.
