Used a vitamin called GABA. I had the best doctor I’d ever had, but he was a resident and it was his last week.I started with these symptoms and called the clinic but my new doctor doesn’t start for another 2 weeks!

My son is 17 years old. I was easily tired, getting less than 4 hours of sleep a night and when it was snowing last winter I wore nothing but a tee shirt and jeans and didn’t even shiver 1 bit.Even though the THC/CBD industry itself has different products besides their oils, everyone reacts differently depending on what they’re taking and how high the dosage is. There are a lot of testimonies to read and learn. People that take this medication for schizophrenia tend to need higher dosages to help manage symptoms.

I’ve been off for about two weeks now and my memory has completely come back (thank you so much!!! Forced onto risperdal without being told the risks or side effects. I had a really tough withdrawal from this medication that lasted about two months and a half (took it for about 2.5 months for non psychotic symptoms).

By Jesus you will be healed completely.Hi, Alan.

It’s really REALLY BAD! And since October 2014 not having problems to sleep I was forced to take flunitrazepam 2 mg which is a sleeping inducer.I was thinking of reducing the dose 10% which is exactly what I read that is recommended on this site. I need to read some success stories here. ), but I still feel the intense anxiety and deep depressive thoughts and have a very hard time going to sleep still.She prescribed risperdal to somebody with simple OCD/agoraphobic symptoms and zero mania or psychosis.

Surround yourself with positive people that are strong minded and will continue to encourage you to not give up.

I can get through anything. It is considered an atypical antipsychotic due to the fact that it is newer and is supposed to have less side effects than the first-generation typical antipsychotics. But this med should be a last resort.I took this pill for my mood along with lamictal when I was 14 and I’ll put it this way: I gained 50 pounds and it was working okay (mostly good) but around the time I turned 18 it suddenly decided to only work when it wanted to work which was not all that often. Therefore if you were taking 2 mg of Risperdal, you would cut to 1.8 mg for the next month.Other factors that play a role in determining withdrawal symptoms include: individual physiology, environment, habits, and other drugs that you are taking. And I don’t have these episodes like other people.

environment, individual physiology, etc. There is not enough research for it to be approved for any other conditions including anxiety and depression unless the anxiety or depression are direct results of psychosis.Hopefully sooner than later because I honestly can't live like this for much longer. I’m a badass. In some cases it is used to help manage schizoaffective disorder as well as irritability among individuals with autism.

Like wildcat said, you have thankfully been on the drug for a shorter time than most people are when they try to quit.

It’s sad how this crap is killing the brain cells. Can’t sit still. Some people don’t really even notice much of a withdrawal when they come off of this drug, while others experience every symptom in the book. People that have been on an antipsychotic for a couple months should have an easier time withdrawing in comparison to those who have taken one for years. I’m currently at work and have spent a lot of today with my head down on my desk, almost asleep.I feel like holding my head up is a huge struggle at the moment. Such a horrible drug for her. If you are extremely sensitive to medications and withdrawals, it is recommended to stick with 10% decreases every month. The research is far behind where it should be on stopping psychotropic drugs. A very low dose, used to treat anxiety and depression as well as difficulties with Autism after a mental breakdown at 13 – I started on 0.5mg, after a few years I reduced to 0.25, and this week, a year after moving out and living independently with my partner and starting to work, I finally saw a new GP about reducing it down further.I’m unable to quit completely at the moment, even from such a low dose, because the effect is so bad physically and mentally.
