RISPERIDONE by injection

[Gail]

im on this and its been mentioned to me that i may find it better to go on the injection form of this just wondered if anyone else has had experience of this

I was on the tablets.

As a woman, can i ask you how you find risperidone?

Why have they suggested you have an injection instead?

I had to change because it totally messed my system up. At 4mg i was lactating like i was heavilly pregnant, getting spots like a teenager, it stopped my periods and it felt like i had eternal PMS.

Apologies if i'm derailing your OP

im on 6mg a day. it was just mentioned to me . I find it ok
just wondered if you had to be on a minimum dosage of it tobe given the jab. i have issues a round taking meds a lot of the time think that was why its been suggested

A women friend is on rispiridone injections, as it's water soluble they need a large needle which she doesn't like, it's effecting her periods

I'm getting pissed off with this rispiridone because it's effecting our sex life, she's putting on weight

Beginning to regret calling the mental health team when she attacked me with a hammer

At the same time i think she needs something
