resperidone treatment ? Posted: 10-04-08 08:46am
What type of medication is this. I was
told it was used for a speeping pill and
nightmares. But, the web sites state it's
for manic bipolar, iritability , and
depessin.

Risperidone is in a class of medications
called atypical anti-psychotics. It works
by changing the activity of certain
natural substances in the brain.
Risperidone is used to treat the symptoms
of schizophrenia, mania, and behavioral
conditions. However, this medication may
be prescribed for other uses ... ask your
doctor or pharmacist for more
information.
Have you been prescribed Risperidone?

haven't been but my husband has and I have
seen a difference in his "anger". I don't
like it to a point because now, he just
says " oh well"

In other words, he's not taking
responsibility for his anger?

The meds do to him what they did to me. I
have anger issues, ect. I was on
anti-depressants, ect. All the meds due
is suppress feelings, ect. They don't help
situations and they don't let you be
assertive. I don't like drugs. They
don't solve your problems. Only actions
do.

I use to be on that drug, it was
perscribed for my Bipolar. I started
lactating on the medication, and since
stopping I still lactate 3 years after
getting that drug out of my system. Now I
am on Geodone.
