I was on risperdal for 2 years at 2 mg twice a day. I was put on it for an eating disorder and OCD. Interestingly enough my ED got worse, I didn't gain weight (I actually lost more weight) and my OCD was still there. It was only when I took myself off the meds at 16 did I get any better. I slept very heavy, waking up was so hard (especially at 6:30 in the morning for high school), and my personality was gone. I was a zombie. I did not feel sad, but did not feel happy either. I just was there. It was weird. I feel like I lost 2 years of my life on that drug I still hate my mother and doctor for putting me on it. I missed out on high school cause I was drugged up half the time. Thank god after two years I had the sense to take myself off the drug. Oh well. I am not completely condemning the drug. Perhaps it did not work for me because it was not meant to treat what I had. If it is working for you guys, great. but if you go on it and after a few months it is not working, then it is not going to work. Get off it and find something that is right to treat the problem you have. Good luck and beware. Doctors may have medical degrees (Im in college now to be a doctor) but only you know if what they are doing is helpful and right for you.
