Re: Risperdal--not in my particular experience

Hi, perhaps you will not have the bad experience I had with risperdal --at first it was okay. However, after a couple of months I noticed severe paranoia and restlessness. It was one of the worst experiences I ever had -- I kept thinking catastrophies were about to happen (the roof caving in, getting into a car accident, etc). I had to leave school and at home I just sat around or paced around in extreme restlessness until I went off it and got better quickly afterward.

I tried zyprexa too, but i only used it occasionally to help with anxiety. It had a strong lethargy inducing effect. It calmed me, but it also knocked me out for 16-20 hours and made me sluggish for at least 36 hrs.

Hope you have better luck. I have not read about such reactions happening in others so it may be peculiar to myself -- don't want to scare you into not trying it. It may work well for OCD.
