| I cant concentrate on anything, everything in my head is a mess because of this. Ive been like this since I got heartbroken a year ago. Before the heartbreak, everything was fine. At age 12-14 I was sleepy, age 14 to the end of age 15 I was normal. Basically, I had 1 year of "joy" and then got into this situation again. The heartbreak + bronchitis I got, from going on a vacation to spain right after, totally destroyed me. I couldnt sleep well at night (Bronchitis made me throw up like 3 times every night). I got poor sleep and I was heartbroken. I started losing a lot of friends(Because I started being depressed) and it hurt me a lot. Ive tried to go to a psychiatrist and psycholog. The psychiatrist is now in jail I think, that bitch was giving out wrong medicines to everyone, luckily I did not take them. (She gave me risperdal after a 10 minute interview).

| For most of my life I have suffered from terrible anxiety which tends to get a lot worse in social situations. So needless to say it has effected my work and my ability to form and keep relationships. I wouldn't say that my primary issue is depression since I want to achieve goals that I set for myself and I have some hobbies that I enjoy but I feel that my anxiety really holds me back from the things that would bring me long term happiness. In the past I have tried lexapro, zoloft, effexor, paxil, seroquel, risperdal, trileptal, topamax, vistaril, and trazodone and they have either made things much worse where I was starting to get very depressed or like I couldn't put a thought together. For a while I refused to take any medication because I had given up hope that anything would have a positive effect.But I had really given things a lot of thought and I went to my primary doctor and she gave me a prescription for 0.25 mg of Xanax once a day.Since I have started taking Xanax I stil >>More<< |

| Hello, I'm a 20 year old female, and I have been diagnosed with REALLY bad anxiety and not to mention depression and OCD. My doctor has put me on three medications (something bad happen to me) anyways they Luvox 100mg for OCD once a day, Xanax half a pill of a .5 3x a day, and Risperdal 1mg at night. I'm really scared of the affect of the Risperdal. It's keeps me very calm, which I like, but at the same time the side affect are really nerve recking. IDK what to do... I'm scared of taking this one pill now, even though it's helping me, greatly. Should I tell my psychiatrist that I want to change it to something else, or still be on it, I've taken this med for about a month now. She said she would lower the dosage of all medications when things get better. Please help thanks! NOT having any side affects from it though >>More<< |

| I was diagnosed with OCD when I came to college last fall. First, I was prescribed Lexapro, which I had a bad reaction to, then they put me on Abilify, which was great, except I had tremors. Now I'm on Seroquel, which is even better at controlling my OCD than Abilify, except that it puts me to sleep for at least 10 hours a day, and in college, unless you have superhuman self-discipline, you can't afford to sleep that long. So I'm looking for a new anti-psychotic that 1) won't give me diskenesia and 2) which won't put me to sleep. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it! Thanks. >>More<< |

I felt as though I couldn't breathe, and when i felt my head go into a dream state, it scared me to the point my heart stopped. I cried and was so frightened. The experience was traumatizing. I felt funny for a good 3 days after, I felt that dream state feeling creep up on me and my heart would stop.

| Hey guys. So here's the story; Every since the transition from 6th grade to 7th (Primary to High school!) I was getting bullied. So badly bullied. It was mainly verbal but it became worse and physical. Soon later I had no friends and fell into undiagnosed light depression and anxiety. That's when I started seeing things. Seeing things as in nobody else saw them. And they were always bad, scary things. Mainly people figures but very faint. The next year I overcame anxiety but it was replaced with Diagnosed mild depression. I was still seeing things. Rarely I would hear someone or something but when I asked 'what?' to the nearest person, they would look at me like I was crazy. One time a girl was badly bullying me. I blacked out and was told to "f*ck her up" and I realised I had a punch up with her. She was on the ground. I'd never had a fight with anyone else after that. I carried on until I heard someone when I was alone. I started to self harm, had many suicide attempts and the v >>More<< |

I'm lonely, I have no dates, I'm slightly overweight, and Im bored with noone to talk to and nothing to do. Its very sad. and the strange thing is the weight is NOT coming off even though I eat healthy and I am on hardly any medication.... :( Right now I am only taking 1mg Risperidone per day, and abusing caffiene pills and ginseng pills and smoking to lose weight, so the way I see it is I am going to end up back in Rehab ANYWAY and Id much rather spend my time there only being 'slightly insane' than being FULL >>More<< |

| It's once a day, but I do it in the afternoon, it says to take at bed time. I have my system of taking my depression medicine, Lexapro, it's once a day in the morning, so I take that before 12 and set it off to the side. My Ativan, is as needed 3 times daily, and I space that out when necessary, if I need it, so that doesn't throw me off. But my life has been getting on track, and I've stayed more busy and motivated, so it slipped my mind if I took my Risperidone dose of 0.5mg. If I took a 2nd dose, would it hurt hypothetically speaking since I can't remember. I was working on something and I think I was going to take it afterwards, just in case if I got tired and couldn't complete that task. It's cool if not, I'll just wait till tomorrow. But, I read a forum where someone forgot and took their larger dose of 4mg, Risperdal, and took it twice, and they had a bad headache the next day with nausea. I'm used to my meds now, and 0.5mg is such a low dose, but this is an anti-psychotic med >>More<< |
