Can Risperidone cause OCD or make it worse?
There are several case reports of OCD being worsened by Risperidone [1], and in some cases, it actual creates the disorder [2] (rare). The most reasonable explanation for this is that Risperidone blocks Dopamine D2 receptors; which are responsible for “regulating” Dopamine release [3], people with OCD already have low D2-receptor function [4] [5] [6].~Dan Gregory of Area-1255: The #1 Underground Psychiatry & NeuroScience Blog on The Internet: www.area1255.blogspot.com
My doctor prescribed me Risperidone 0.25 MG for anxiety, is that normal?
Thanks for the ATA.Anxiety by itself would not normally warrant an antipsychotic. They have grave side effects that are considered by some to be acceptable for psychosis, but not all patients agree. It would be the feelings of derealization the triggered the prescription. It's not a drug to mess around with. There have been big lawsuits and Johnson and Johnson has spent a lot of money to settle them. I don't don't know exactly how to determine if someone "needs" Risperidone, and frankly I don't know if anyone on earth needs it. I personally would not take it unless my life depended on it. I have read too many stories of suffering. But keep in mind this is the opinion of a layperson.First page of "I hate resperidone" hits. I hate rhisperdol with every fiber of my makes you very hungary and gives you akathasia i hate it, i hate risperdalGet put off by everything and hate having things I have to do. Can't even sleep during I hate being on Risperdal. I'm actually getting off of it today. I HATE RISPERDAL!!!! I have only been on it 3 weeks, my moodiness is horrible (my poor kids!) I feel hopeless and empty I have been trying Risperidone for the past month and I hate iti have NO LIFE!!! my wife seems to hate me because of loss of sexMy psychiatrist wants to put me on 0.25mg / dayRisperidone to help me ... I hate how this is being prescribed willy-nilly to autistic people, it's a It's more typical for derealization to be addressed in talk therapy than with a drug.Things to look at before going straight to an antipsychotic:•Too much pressure in work, home, romance, family, school, or sports.•Finding yourself in a life that is either to confining or too unstructured for your basic nature•Recent starting, stopping, or dose-changing of any kind of drug, from nicotine and caffeine, to LSD, with marijuana and anti-depressants in between •Recent changes in sleep schedule, quality of sleep, or amount of sleep•Any sign of illness such as fever, rash, difficulty eating or changes in eating habits•Head injury or any serious injury•Serious loss--of a loved one, a house, a job•Traumatic event(s)
Is it safe to mix xanax, risperidone, and oxycodone together?
Ive been combining these pills for a while now and I seem to get a decent high if I take the right amount. I have never tried all three of these together would you please give me your opinions on how it would work out? I am aware of the risk that come along with taking pills. I don't need to hear that it is wrong or bad for me because I know. If I actually cared I wouldn't be asking this question
On Risperdal, slow thinking and unemotional?
Oh, I know just it is, even though I can't remember the dose I was taking back then. After 2-3 months on that medicine I put on craploads of weight (which I still haven't taken off), didn't talk for days and felt literally lost in space. Even if it was this autumn, I still can't recall most of the things that happened, I only remember eating and eating and eating. I wasn't even in the state to post a yahoo question about it. Now, looking back, I should have done anything to stay mentally active. Now I feel as if most of my brain cells have been destroyed. I remember talking to my psychiatrist about getting off of them, but I can't recall if she let me, or I did it on my own. Any way, eve though I don't know exactly why have you been prescribed Risperidone, there most certainly is a way of getting off of it for good. And I don't know about online support groups, but feel free to message me about anything if you want to.
