Risperadol symptoms and conditions

My husband has been taking Geodon for about 3 years now. He's a paranoid schiztophrenic (gee, that was a surprise to me finding out a few years into our marriage when his old meds just stopped working) and the Geodon really controls things. He hasn't lost any weight (unfortunate, actually, he needs to lose a good 60 pounds) and he sleeps just fine. He also tried a few other meds, risperadol amongst them, but this is the one that seems to work. Thank goodness we have excellent health insurance through my work, I can't imagine how some of you are managing without it. :(

I also am having a difficult time with memory loss. I have a very short term memory. I never used to be this way. Before I started taking Lamictal, I was taking Depakote. I haven't been on Lamictal for that long, so I do not know if my previous medications have caused my memory loss. I also get dizzy sometimes and I'm feeling out of breath lately. Some other medications I've taken are: Zyprexa (which gave me type I diabetes); Abilify; Risperadol; Adavan...the list goes on, unfortunately. I have been taking anti-psychotic drugs since I was 16, and I am 37 years old now. God help me!
