Meds similar to Risperdal? Withdrawal?

Posted by tampagirl70 on May 2, 2005, at 9:30:57

I've been taking .5mg risperdal for about a month now along with celexa and wellbutrin for my OCD. The first side effect I noticed was constipation, but now I'm noticing that my mouth is always hot and dry and my tongue, the roof of my mouth and the area under my tongue are very irritated. I saw my pdoc a couple weeks ago and told him about the constipation, but he said it was very unusual to have this side effect. I left a message for him about the dry mouth and have again asked him if I can try another med similar to risperdal. What are the other meds I could try and if I have to stay on the risperdal, will the side effects lessen and/or go away?

Because of these side effects, I thought I'd stop taking the risperdal and didn't take it Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Sunday when I was getting ready to go out I was sweating a lot and felt kind of anxious. Today, the same thing happened and it was worse. I'm also worrying that this will turn into a depression and I'll start obsessing again. Are these withdrawal symptoms? I took .5mg this morning and am going to keep taking it until I can get something worked out with my pdoc.
