Long and short term side affects to Risperdal (anti psychotic)?

Question

Ive been taking Risperdal off and on for the last 4 years. Every time i stop taking the medicine something happens and I have a skitsophrenic break down. STill, I want to stop taking it becuase it is thwarting my s*x drive and makes me gain weight. Does anybody know what else this stuff is doing to me?

Answer 1

Well why is your s*x drive low?  Stress maybe?  Time?  Who knows, any medications could also be a factor.  I was in your situation and tried everything to restore my s*x drive and feel like I'm 18 again.  After months of exercising and dieting, nothing worked.  I tried the blue pill and all that stuff but the side effects just overwhelmed the actual pleasures of it.  I found something the same as it but without the side effects which has been really helpful.  Another thing is, it's natural and does more then the blue pill.  It's a sexual herbal enhancer that makes me feel like I'm 18 again with a blasting s*x drive.  Along with that the s*x feels amazing with more ejaculate which means better feeling and longer o****m.  The stuff is quite amazing, it's called vigrx plus.  You can read up about it at hughs-reviews.com where I saved $30 on it at the time.  Did I mention the recovery time is lessened so you can just go all night on it.  Another great thing is that you don't need a prescription and shipping was really quick.  Well good luck and I hope this helps.

These anti-psychotic drugs are bad for you in many ways. One of the problems they cause is "Tardive Diskinesia" which is the medical name for an incurable disease characterised by twitching and jerking uncontrollably. There are many people who have this problem from the drugs they were on. You won't see them at the shopping mall though, because they usually can't go out. It also shrinks your brain. I suggest you try to get hold of a copy of Peter Breggin's book, "Toxic Psychiatry" it will tell you a lot of eye-opening things about what is going on in the psychiatric profession. It also suggests other ways of dealing with emotional problems that don't rely on damaging your brain! I also suggest going to:-

http://www.redirectingselftherapy.com which tells you how you can release blocked emotions that are harming your present life.

Peter Breggin has a website too, I believe. He is a psychiatrist (a good one, there are a few!) who is trying to get psychiatry to change and become more accountable for it's actions.
