changed med today, Risperdal..nervous

[mimijr]

confused about this medicine, this one as well as a couple ive taken in the past have "black box warnings" it scares me. and i get such health anxiety and think ill get every terrible fatal side effect there is with the meds (there is more than one!) Unfortunately these are the meds i need. got off lithium a month ago now starting risperdal.. hopefully will help my symptoms... been feeling TERRIBLE and stuck. thank god for klonopin thats all i can say... well if anyone has tried risperdal let me know .. maybe you can ease my worry ? thanks :winks:

It's called risperidone in the UK (generic name). Might be worth posting under that name?

Sorry, I've never taken it so can't comment.

Hope it works for you.:)
