Hi guys,
Just a couple of (almost certainly unoriginal) queries on Risperdal:
Has anyone successfully controlled rapid-cycling with this medication, used as an add-on to an anticonvulsant? Long-term success would be particularly reassuring!
And now for the obvious one:
Has anyone NOT suffered diminished libido, marked weight gain, prolactin increase, the secretion of biblical quantities of male breast-milk, or any of the plethora of hideous side-effects that are often associated with Risperdal?
Col.

I didnt gain any weight.
>prolactin increase, the secretion of biblical quantities of male breast-milk,
no breast milk thankfully! (yes Im a man)

the only side effect I got from was being completely, away with the faeries, out of it. I think thats cos the dose was too high. I didnt find it a very effective antipsychotic.
Best regards, Bunny

Cheers for that Xbunny.
6mg would pretty much have anyone away with the fairies, I imagine.
I'm only on a miniscule .25mg, and feel much more level already.
Guess I'll have to seek my breast milk elsewhere then.....
Regards,Col.

Hey Colin,
Sorry to interupt this post but welcome back to babble! I have read alot of Ron Hill's and your posts in the past. I might have BP II and am having a really tough time with lamictal. Just like some of your old post mentioned, I feel great at first and then eventually lamictal poops out.
I have a prescription for trileptal and remember you mentioning you were taking last year. I was wondering if your still taking trileptal and how it is working for you?
Thanks a million.
Smith
