hello guys. These "medicines" are not good for brain. i know why psychiartists use this? they dont know how its bad for brain. its shrinks your brain. there are many studies about this but they dont have another choose and this is very good for big pharma. i hope everyone in this universe dont use antipsychotics anymore.

Wow! I'm watching this in September 2022, and it really really helped my family out. My brother sadly has schizophrenia, and he said the exact same thing, "I feel like I'm dying". And this was only on the first pill.. I hope it gets better soon for everybody struggling with this. God bless you all.
The cleaning and wiping of every room of the house... first big thing I did after coming from the psyche ward. Was on this drug 24/7, everything felt like a dream.
i was prescribed this for my schizophrenia symptoms, and honestly it really helped treat that within the first week. however i’ve felt rly bingey (which sucks bc i’m a recovering anorexic) as well as just exhausted. i work rly early in the morning so ive had the worst pain getting up. i was extremely dizzy right away. i’ve always dealt with dizziness from not eating enough, but this was so difficult to deal with. i dropped a glass of water in front of my mom because I had no balance and that really freaked her out. my emotions have been really numb, and my bf is really worried about me. i haven’t been getting mad about anything that used to enrage me. i havent been happy about the things i used to like. all my responsibilities and goals seem so distant and pointless. all my friendships and relationships don’t seem important. i just feel so empty and emotionless, but at least i’m not hearing voices now lol
I took Risperidone over a year ago for a few months. It honestly was the worst. It just made me have no feelings what so ever and I felt like a zombie/ robot. The side effects I had were, I couldn't really drive or go outside because my eyes were so sensitive to light, when waking up my body was SUPER sore and it felt like I did a intense work out the night before, then it got to the point where I couldn't hold my pee like I was urinating on myself so I stop taking the meds completely without consulting my doc and I had an uplift and was super happy for around two weeks then got super depressed..
@@Blackmoonsoulx I was on risperidone for a month at a mental hospital and I quit cold turkey. The side effects were horrible. Tardive dyskinsia made me look old and the anxiety was annoying as hell. I was so scared that they would be permanent but they slowly went away after about three months.
I was on 0.5 ml of Risperdal and 10 mg of Lexapro. My side effects were really different. During the first week, I felt sedated. The second week was the worst ever. I had severe diarrhea, intense muscle pains, insomnia and vomiting. 🤮
Thanks for sharing your experience, I really needed to know what it was like to take this drug because a close friend just took it and is not himself :/
I was also prescribed zoloft. Like you I ate healthy, I quickly realized how to reverse the depression that I caused with my healthy diet, it's simply a lack of fatty acids in the Body that is obviously resolved when eating more fatty foods, more complex for me considering I don't eat animals, fish, or birds. I am consuming coconut oil big time instead of the Zoloft
You had me at waking up in the morning! I almost skipped the whole last year of school it fvcked my life + social anxiety on top of it I have no job now...
Started taking risperidone a week ago to treat my schizoaffective problem. I'm on 0.5 mg at night, +0.25 during the day if I feel I need it. So far it makes me sleepy and I've been eating more, but I've been able to study and work and go to the gym.
What symptoms do you have / what was the reason you where formally diagnosed with schizeaffective disorder thanks. I’m seeing a psychiatrist now and I’m on 400mg quetiapine and 1mg of rispiredone and 45MG mirtazepine ( suspected personality disorder )
So relatable! I felt dead when I would take this everyday. All I wanted to do was eat and sleep. I was in decent shape (5’11 218lbs) and just in a year I gained 80 pounds. Food became my drug it sucked. Working on losing it now. So far 7 pounds down. Love from PA/DE 🌌 also your dogs are so cute💜
Keyon Johnson congrats on the weight loss! I’ve been trying really hard to fight the cravings and lose some weight too. I hope your journey continues to go well!
Atleast Hunger was the only thing i felt while on this med. I almost felt dead. Dead inside too. i couldnt feel my heartbeating but drs said my heart rate was fine. I couldnt hear my heartbeat like i used to. I didnt feel happy or joy. I had trouble falling in love and interested in my gf at the time.but during drama and traumatic events I was impressed how chill i was. Because im usually a rollercoaster bi- polar gf that cried constantly. I stopped hearing things/hallucinating things and was able to think clearer and not irrationally. My paranoia seemed to be worse actually. I dont know if the med helped me think smarter or be ridiculously paranoid. I also had blurry vision and the worse part was being exhausted after a good night sleep. I gained a sensitivity to lights and sound. Im impressed with risperidone as a sedative. but i dont think its the right med for me because The side effects i cant handle. Also this med makes you sick to your stomach if you miss a dose.

Be aware if u take these meds the side affects can last a life time i have been off these since 2014 and i feel like i have taken this every day still to this day but i have been off this drug, also it has given me man boobs i cant spell the medical term right, and i have a twitch that happens within a few seconds of the last that dont stop and i have to only focus on that to make it stop for about a minute
I've only been taking it almost a week for schizoaffective but at night that's when my hallucinations are more severe. This medication worked for me before I was pregnant but ever since I started it again it hasn't been the same. I just want my life back without hallucinations.
Zoloft was horrible. It made me a zombie. Risperidone makes me just plain old tired. I'm always exhausted and can't move. Does anyone have light sensitivity issues? The blurriness is something I also went thru it was worse because I was on a few meds so combined...
I hate taking this drug.I haven't emotions,I feel without motivation,I have headache,I have memory problems and problems for paying attention,I have problems for waking me up etc.Taking this drug it's a nightmare. Thanks for the video!
I was forced to take this. I always thought I was exaggerating; and that the side effects don’t exist. But seeing your comments makes me cry. Feel you.
@@ahmerkhn844 'tactile' = Touch Has the power of touch/ feel Can exert mass. I know this one. It was a sabbotaged early model. It's not in pain. Ignore it s best you can. Don't even react If you can. It's sensitive and not a joke.
Is it me but when I was on Risperdal I had to tell my head to tell my feet to move it took two hours to get to a Place that should of took like 3 minutes to get there I would be walking down the street I had to keep reminding myself to keep walking
I'm starting to take Risperidone 3mg. I suffer from Derealization and Depersonalization Dissociative Disorder but I don't know why my psychiatrist is giving me this high dose of risperdal. I strongly suspect having cyclotimia, DID and an attenuated psychotic disorder. Every fuckin' thing is hell. By now I'm non feeling very much of effects apart from total incapability of having a orgasm, dry dry mouth and yeah a lil' bit of sedation but nothing really special. Thanks for your sharing of your experience and knowledge about this substance
I was thrown onto 4mg instantly for depression, didn’t even know what I was taking, I was just shot up with 120mg (equals 4mg per day) side effects we unbearable and persisted for about 2 months later after injection, slowly recovering and libido has returned.
Risperidone, as with most Anti-psycotics are majority unnecessary. They cause more harm than help in the long-term, they're sedatives, etc - best used for people who are totally out of touch with reality, people with severe schizophrenia, things like that. Be wary. Psychiatry these days is pretty toxic.
I've been off for like a month now I feel great I was on it for 1 year and a half it took me a year to get off because I was having some pretty hard times but I don't recommend being on it long term unless you're like a schizophrenic
My regular psychotherapist told me to use antipsychotic max 5 days in row because they accumulate in fat tissue, and therefore their influence is accumulating day by day. So for borderline, emotionally unstable persons like me, max 5 days when you feel like you are loosing it, otherwise I start to have terrible side effects almost hallucinations, which I never have.
I ate less after a while couldnt eat anything at all.. Would only lie in bed for hours and hours, not having energy, not getting sleep. On other days beeing more hysterical, get up and smoke, get back to bed, get up smoke, get back to bed... Never smoking a whole cigarette... Pain throughout my body.. Not being able to think the feeling of loosing it completely or beeing dead allready, my inner voice vanished... That made me crazy for a while, running around: my inner voice is dead, I am dead, I cannot hear my inner voice. Before risperidone I was "ok" on risperidone I was totally loosing grip of reality and starting to give up on my life... Beeing in darkness.
@Paul Shackleton i can talk to people, and sometimes im "happy", but theres allways this shadow with me... Often gettin in my way.. People dont notice very often, its like a door shutting...... 🤷🏻♀️
i'm on this drug and the first two weeks were fine, now I can't get comfortable at night i toss and turn, and i feel like my heart is beating out of my chest. I feel trapped and unable to relax. Seriously thinking about not taking any more.
@@LOST-fp7ud I'm ok :) they put me back on antidepressants, and took me off the rispiradone. I will never put it in my body again. That was SCARY. It made me suicidal. I'm finally, after three months, feeling sorta like myself again. :)
@JohnnyGotHisGun I'm off of it now. They misdiagnosed me with a psychotic break, another shrink saw me and said no, she's severely depressed and shouldn't have stopped taking her anti depressants, and I have ptsd from a series of suppressed traumatic events from my late teens. The new shrink has me in trauma counselling. The other shrink thought I was just nuts. That's why the medicine nearly drove me insane; because I didn't need it.
@@alishiapowell8293 i am facing the same symptoms that u said rapid heart beat,feeling of being trapped nervousness,difficulty in walking i have been taking it from past 5 days 0.5 mg gonna get off it its so scary and dangerous do reply
@@versatilehumanbeing6013 I stopped taking it last year. I think it damaged me. My hands always shake now. They never did that before. Ween yourself off slowly, don't cold turkey like I did. It took months for me to stop feeling paranoid afterwards. It's horrible.
Thank you so much for the video, I am very anti- drug and have been looking at my bottle of meds for a week now and I'm nervous about taking it. I'll try to start next week. thanks again.
What about anti pychotics my brother has been on respidone 2 mlg since 2003 him and his doctor is trying to ween him off it but he keeps on getting dizzy is there any way to ween him self of respidone with out dizzyness?
@@marciamarciamarcia1650 i can seem to control of i lose my mind i wasnt really able to do that before my mood has improved so much im actually smiling instead of tryna kill myself and i sleep alot better,
Im gonna stop taking risperdal makes me panic alot more and i feel very depressed cuz of it also take zoloft im gonna up my dosage of zoloft helpt good for panic and depression
I took this yesterday for the first time.. was knocked out in bed early.. woke up at sooo thirsty went to get something to drink and I ended up gulping down a bunch of fabulouso that was sitting on my kitchen counter smh!! I had to call poison control and go to the hospital.. I’m not taking it again. The doctor need to try something else that was crazy!!!
Also my throat was burning sooo bad !! And been burping flowers all day long and my mg. Is only.05mg so I personally don’t think it’s for me but if u have any recommendations for me when I call the doctor Monday please let me know
Makes my stomach kinda fucked up though, about half an hour after taking the pill I'm on the toilet, does anyone know of any foods that can help stomach problems associated with medications?
I will be taking both Zoloft and Respadol and I tend to binge eat and Im kinda scared about starting them because Im already overweight for my height...
The Lord’s Prayer Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

I’ve been on fluoxetine and melatonin to try and help with insomnia and depression but neither worked well for me I’m now switching to a different anti-depression and today is my first day of taking risperidone and it’s been about an hour I feel sleep and I got a banging headache video was really helpful and reassuring thank u
@@jessicanegron9764 i was thats my side effect, i take resperidone for my intrusive thoughts and my side effects are movement tics and i feel like i have tourettes
you look gorgeous luv I wanna meet someone who is going through similar mental health issues so we connect and understand each other and help each other.
Tiredness and heaviness, blurred vision. No extreme hunger just sluggish I am on 5mg I am going to be lowering the dose as it knocks me out for 15 hours and I can't get motivated till lunch time every day.
My mother started having delusions of persecution after she couldn't sleep for 48 hours. We took her to the doctor and he said that it's depression. Took her to another doctor and he prescribed an anti depressant and risperidone. I'm worried the risperidone will have bad effects for her cause I used to take them myself and they reduced my concentration and memory to such a low state. My mom is 57 and I love her to such an extent that I can't continue living without her. Please tell me she'll be alright. I'm so desparate and broken. Is risperidone dangerous? Should I not let her take risperidone anymore? Btw she has been under a huge amount of stress both at work and in home, I think that's what triggered her episode
I distaste the stuff. it made me have major mind fog and my drive for anything and all things is gone. IM having trouble even taking care of my self and I got head aches and hard time focusing on anything. its really frustrating. I used the washroom so much. its always super hard to go 2 now. and have to use #1 all the time now. I am gaining weight and losing weight at the same time for me. gaining fat but losing muscle. I hate going outside and talking on the phone now... I have a hard time talking to people too ever since being on this stuff. maybe some people really need it but its life altering..
I was just prescribe this not taken yet 1mg twice a day for intrusive thoughts as I’m not functioning to well at moment 24/7 tormented by my mind but I’m scared people saying they feel no emotions or numb Taking this I don’t want to feel numb or have no emotions when having intrusive thoughts I hate the thoughts but at least when I feel distrest at the thoughts I feel reassured knowing it’s not me and I don’t want them so feeling nothing I feel might freak me out does anyone have experience taking this for treatment of intrusive thoughts ocd or anxiety ?
ive been on seroquel, abilify, risperdal, zyprexa, clozaril, throazine and haldol for what they believed was schizoaffective disorder. clozaril was BY FAR the worst, i had to get blood draws every week for a while and i had to be hospitalized to begin the trial. keep in mind, im only 17. risperdal had some side effects, mostly being sexual dysfunction. however, risperdal wasn't sedating AT ALL compared to the other antipsychs ive taken besides abilify. at one point in time, i was on 6mg of risperdal. im currently on 15mg zyprexa thats working wonders for me. no hallucinations or delusions, and my mood symptoms are well managed. people experience different side effects from the same drug. however, i dont understand how risperdal would make your obsessive compulsive symptoms any worse. im currently studying to become a psychiatrist, and my aunt is a reknown psychiatrist. i think your obsessive compulsive symptoms are psychosomatic side effects. albeit, i hope you do well, and i wish you luck :)
I had been on risperidone before 6mg is high, if you can ask for lower meds, I have now been on invega sustenna for years it's the shot form of risperidone. I was on 156mg for 4 years every 4 weeks. After being on it for years i have now been on 78 mg invega sustenna for 1 year and I feel the best I ever felt on anti psychotic meds. I am trying to get the doctor to lower my meds but he refuses. But being on less medication is better. Praying for my health these past years have really helped. Ask your doctor for his professional experience. Bute personally I like being on Lower meds it's way less side effect and you feel more like yourself instead of being over sedated and feeling no emotions
Lonis Luntz you’re in no position to make that, not only have you made a generalisation (which in themselves are unrealistic) but you’re unqualified to do so.
I've been on it for a week and a few days, and other than drowsiness, i feel pretty good. I've always been a hungry person, so that hasn't really changed 😂
I take both too. Ive been taking 200mg of sertraline (Zoloft) for ages I can’t even count. And yes that is the highest dose. I take it for ocd. Then I started taking risperidone I don’t even know how to spell it yet lol 2 days ago 0.25mg and i don’t like it. I’ve been eating so so so much also just looking at my phone I am really dizzy. It’s just really weird and I feel like it is going to get worse. And I’m really scared for when they increase the dose because I’m on the starting dose
Dorcas Orebiyi I stopped taking risperidone because it wasn’t really working and I stopped sertraline and now I’m on 60mg fluoxetine so it didn’t do mjch
iv'e been taking risperidone since my psychotic episode back in 2014. I like it because it i don't know the science behind it, but i am one of those people that when i lay down for bed my brain will be like "lets think about random shit for the next 8 hours" so it does slow down my thinking by a lot and i do feel sedated from it, but i feel it sedates me too much for bed because most days i sleep for 10 to 12 hours. Unless i am on a strict work routine.
Nern only the blind want to slow down their thinking. Open your mind and expand your consciousness. You were restless because you needed to meditate on what happened that day
@Dorcas Orebiyi yes. I am on a very low dose now. But I do exercise quite a bit now through body weight training. Drink lots of water and eat a healthy diet. Takes alot of effort. Finding a good doctor is probably 50 percent of the battle too. The first few would just write off prescriptions and dope up the crap out of me. So finding a doctor that genuinely cares about you is very difficult
@Dorcas Orebiyi since 2012. the reason my crap hit the fan in 2014 was because i stopped taking it by my own choice and it really messed me up not taking it.
Every sentence needs to end with a question mark. Even though it'll be incorrect grammar usage and because every sentence sounds like it ends in a question. Drugs are bad. Mmmk?
I'm on 2mg valium 3× a day like 20 To 30mg of ambien at night and risperidone 1mg at night and the risperidone is by far the weakest med I've ever taken, they don't sedate me or help me sleep at all.
