My son was prescribed Risperdal. It was very effective in stablizing his moods for a while but as time progressed his mood swings continued and they had to increase the dosage. Eventually we took him off all of the medications because he became aggressive and uncontrolable.

It helps a lot of people. I was miserable on it. I stayed so sleepy that I could barely function. My doctor said that tiredness would go away. After staying on it for a long time--I went off it. Thank God.I felt so much better when I put my foot down and said "no more" to my doctor. I think it is an anti psychotic drug too.

I've been prescribed that medicine before. I'd recommend not making many plans for the first couple of days that you're on it. You're probably going to be sleeping a lot until you get a little used to it.

Woohooooo! That stuff made me feel all loopy and I was cutting the tablet in two. Then it knocked me out. Good thing I took it at night. Made me gain 5 pounds too! Anti-psychotics have that effect though. :(
