Risperdal and headaches

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 bipolar2 and it has definitely made me worse and more depressed. I eat like a cow... 2 huge bags of mini snickers AND a bag of Milky Ways, big bags, Halloween candy on sale the next... ugh. I feel like my depression and crabbiness and hopelessness is off the charts, broke up with fiance and don't give a crap, i hate life and nothing matters. I NEVER got headaches until now and I am always exhausted, I go to bed hours earlier than usual and can barely wake up, then i wake up and cry. I constantly feel like i've done something bad and feel guilty for no reason I have only been on a .5 mg dose for 3 weeks and I took myself off. They made me an emergency doc appt and its gov mental health so i'm lucky to get a call back even if i'm a trainwreck from bp only they say go to the mental hospital... I HATE this drug...

I had psychosis and the doctor prescribed Risperdal with lithium carbonate. It worked and stopped all the voices. Then all the side effects kicked in, constipation, trouble sleeping, restless (to the point that I can barely read a page of my work information at a time), losing my period, and headaches. I slowly tapered off the drugs for a couple of weeks, the headaches is not significant anymore and I wake up less frequently at night. I don't have racing thoughts nor strange voices nor moodiness or extremely mood swings. All I can say is, it is your body, do what you feel right. Also, I keep in my bag a bottle of Risperdal in case I started hearing things.

I have been taking Risperdal for 7 months. I have gained weight. But because of my depression I am not exercising anymore. Also on Effexor and Cymbalta. Has anyone heard anything about Cymbalta? Seems as if I take a pill for everything now. Dr. gave me Ambien to take if I cannot sleep. Thanks.

i had weight gain, insomnia, hypertension, paranoia, abnormal heart beating, headaches frequently, and hallucinating. I was shaking all the time caused me to cry for no apparent or known reason at all.
