Risperidone

[Devon]

Does any one have side effects from Risperdal (Risperidone) ?

I used to find it made me hyper and rather paranoid/anxious
Definitely the opposite of what you'd expect !

I've switched now to Amisulpride and find it has no side effects for me, at least.

In large doses (right after an acute episode) it made me completely unable to focus on any sort of task, I couldn't even read, or think properly. I don't know what are the supposed benefits of this drug but I sincerely despise it. Olanzapine has been better for me.

Hi there I used to have risperidone depots (injections) apart from the pain I put on a couple of stone so came of it.
Like you I'm now taking amisulpiride seems to be ok.
