Can stopping Risperdal cause depression?

Posted by tampagirl70 on May 2, 2005, at 16:18:33

I didn't take my dose of risperdal Friday, Saturday or Sunday, but took it this morning and am feeling depressed. I'm also taking celexa & wellbutrin and my dose of celexa may be too low without the risperdal. Can stopping the risperdal cause depression?

I stopped because of the constipation and dry mouth that came with it. My pdoc switched me to geodon and I'm taking my first dose tonight. I'm nervous about these meds, mostly because they're called anti-psychotics I guess. And because of the side effects I've read about that they can cause. What do you take risperdal for? Do you have any side effects from it?

Hi,
I have constipation too. I take Risperdal for anxiety/OCD.
