Hello, I was curious, has anyone gone off risperidone and then started feeling more emotional? I've been off of it for a week so I wouldn't think that I would just start getting those symptoms now but I wanted to see if anyone has experienced anything like that before?
okay i did and rispirdone and didn’t like how it felt and stopped or cold turkey…. got withdraws that messed me up for awhile like 8 months! be careful with them they made me extremely anxious and emotional. make sure you are taking the right dosage and come off of it correctly!!!
I was on .5 for 2 months and then my phycologist had me taper down to .25 for like 3 days and then I went off. She said I shouldn't have real any withdrawal symptoms except that my anxiety may get a bit worse.
i’m also curious to hear this answer im on rispirdone
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.
Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.
This is kind of a weird question, but I recently increased my SSRI dosage and have experienced tremendous relief. It has quieted my intrusive thoughts so much and my compulsions are no longer as all-consuming. However, I don’t want to be on this high of a dosage forever and know that medication alone shouldn’t be my only fix. I’m seeing a new psychiatrist on Wednesday and am wondering if the recent decrease in frequency of my symptoms will be a bar to my getting ocd treatment? In other words, if in this present moment I’m doing better, but up until a few days ago my compulsions were taking up pretty much every moment of my waking day, will I still be classified as having ocd? I start getting worried when I feel better that I don’t actually have ocd and just use it as a defense mechanism to avoid consequences of my actions/I’m secretly a terrible person
