I was on Risperdal (via court-order) back in 1996; the adverse (side) effects were so brutal (especially gynecomastia). Based on my experience; Risperdal (& psych meds in general) is NOT "treatment". It's PUNISHMENT!!!!!

@@dralywood I was thinking 🤔 I'm been having trouble losing belly fat could make a video on how can lose weight and keep it off🤔😉🤗
Thanks for your valuable information regarding the drug. My son is twenty years old and has been taking risperidone for the past two years for mental illness. But after gaining 12 kilos, his weight is not increasing anymore. How to keep the weight right?
I have my son now just taking risperidone...i hope he fell so well...i hope all his anxious,mood swing..etc will gone hopefully...he is suffering really we admitted him because every month he has this panic attact...but just 1 week only then again next month so it happens again by 3rd times this month so we all decided to admitted him...i hope and praying that someday my son will into a normal life🙏🙏🙏🙏
We praying for that dear,don't lose hope
Thank you. If you could please also keep my sister in your prayers too
Sindy bhembe thank you
Hope he is doing well ❤
Do lab work. Find root causes. Get your child off this medication a very dangerous drug
Hey Ali have a LILY Oranzapine then tell us how good it makes you feel.
Do you have to monitor 3 hours after administration?
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever.
Amen Shalom.
My nephew using this meds since 2001
What are the symptoms of overdose of Risperdal?
I have schizophrenia for 3 years and I was prescribed with Risperidone 1mg today by my psychiatrist. After reading the comments I’m scared to take it. But I will take it tonight and see how it goes.
I started taking Vitamin B supplements, which appear to be very helpful. Water soluble vitamins are well tolerated and not dangerous. Fat soluble vitamins can have negative side effects, and can be dangerous.
@@TwoBunExactly; all psych meds (especially antipsychotics & neuroleptics) r fat-soluble (i.e.: cling 2 the fat cells which results in "lingering" effects). Conversely; alcohol's water soluble. The manner in how psych meds work; I'm so much better off drinking beer (which contains alcohol) but that's besides the point.
@@billybandyk0720 I got damaged by psychiatry quite badly as a captured person with 30 grams of Lithium and Risperdal over 4 1/2 weeks. Anti-Crazy medications are about the same time line as synthetic opioids. Probably sympathetic to earlier Mind Control research, the idea of personal computing and a World Wide Web would not have been supported in the 1991 High Speed Computing Act. "The Case of the Frozen Addict" on WGBH Boston video archive, would have been noticed and generate some intrigue.
Tomhardy90how do you feel.now
@@rymaghizlane4671I definitely got symptoms of Drug Induced Parkinson's from and event of psychiatric abuse and health care fraud. About 30 grams of lithium and Risperdal over about 5 weeks. High dose Thiamine has been helping relief the mental slowness, a video prompted me to try Thiamine, about the 2:15 mark shows patients condition improving. ruclips.net/video/iuSOQOTyB9w/видео.html
MH medication weight changes are real, for sure. I think some meds are more “weight neutral” than others. Some even promote weight loss. e.g. Topamax. People are wise to be aware of medications that promote metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetes).
Like Miratazapine
Can risperidone affect your menstruation? I mean irregularity?
When you say disintegrating, does that mean a fizzy oral tablet? E.g. people can’t cheek them. When I was a student on an ACT team we had someone getting the rapid dissolving oral meds.
Correct. The medication will dissolve in the mouth and you wont be able to "cheek" the pill.

Do you have a podcast?
Great question! I do not…. Yet. I’m still trying to get comfortable with RUclips and trying to figure out what direction to take this channel. I do have intent in starting a podcast at some point... just not quite yet.
Dr. Aly
How can I get a prescription refilled,
I no longer have a psychiatrist and need my prescription refilled. I've been on risperidone for 10months for bipolar
Hey Anthony- This is a really good question.
There are a handful of options to consider:
1. Try to establish care with another mental health provider
2. See if your PCP would be willing to prescribe your medication until you establish care with a psychiatrist
3. Go to an urgent care and see if they will give you a refill
4. Talk to your pharmacist. Sometimes, they can give a couple days worth of medication as an "emergency supply"
5. Try to establish care at a free mental health clinic.
Hope this helps!

This medication is dangerous I was taking 2mg and stopped suddenly then I got very painful pains in my brain on the 3rd night of not having it and another thing is that I have stopped sleeping completely this all happened in 2019 and I am still not sleeping at all to this day. Olanzapine is a safer antipsychotic I stopped taking 20mg of that over a decade ago and I had a rush of thoughts but none of the brain damaging effects risperidone has given me.

I have been taking risperidone for schizophrenia since 2019 and now am symptom free so here's the question, can i now reduce my dose to 0.5mg once a day?, i have been taking 1mg
Did you stop taking it.I am also taking risperidone. I had a psychotic episode. Now on 0.5mg. I tried stop taking it but had insomnia for 2 days So i continued. How to stop taking it.
@Jishnu 561 fr bro I couldn't sleep tonight and started feeling rly weird off it I can't think straight idk maybe it's sum else
I’ve been on Risperidone for 22 years, since I was 10.
I tried 3 times to come off of it and could not.
And no one knows how to help.
Don’t go on this pill. You will have great trouble getting off of it.
Have you tried "medicating normal" they have their own channel and webpage and I am sure if you would get it touch with them they would be able to help you
@@TheNikyca I’m looking into it thank you!
@@TheNikyca God bless you, thank you✨🙂☀️
@@TheNikyca that website online has a lot of resources… thank you!!
@@MichaelAnthony757 you are welcome they are one of the best resources i found! i am keeping my fingers crossed for you. I would like to know how it goes so if u remember please post an update ☺
Can i give this medicine to my 3&1/2 years old daughter? She's speech delayed and doctor says she's got autism
Talk to a doctor
I wouldn’t advise it due to her age. it’s something you may need to think about as she gets older if aggression becomes dangerous for others which may not even happen. You need a weight of good reasons to justify the side effect risks or at least a responsible Dr would. Worth speaking to your Dr though they may explore ADHD or Anxiety medications which may be helpful
Risperidone should be a last resort to control mania or psychosis. It shouldn't be given to people just because they have behavioral issues or are displaying symptoms of autism. I've only been on it for 1 month, and it's already made me gain 20 pounds, sleep all day, damaged my liver, and given me tardive dyskinesia. (Side note: it's also not helping me at ALL.)
It actually says right in the medication package (at least in my country), "Should not be used for irritability and behavioral issues associated with autism". I think that online it should say that somewhere, too.
0/10, would not recommend. 😒
Is respiradone a forever medicine because I am taking it. My doctor said that it’s a forever because it will come back. I was hearing voices. I am continue taking the 2 mg.
RISPERIDONE ALWAYS RUINS LIVES.
Don't fuck up your whole life with Risperdone.
Just deal with your auditory hallucinations without life-ruining drugs.
This video lacks critical points. It doesn't mention how a psychosis can happen due to sudden withdrawal, which could lead to patients mistakenly thinking they need to stay on it forever. That said, I merely read it in an article, plus it feels like a common sense worry to be aware of, but I lack personal experience.
Why is the video nonsense? I’m confused?
@@dralywood Sorry, I meant that it lacks critical points. I get it that RUclips creators typically just throw in random points, but I believe a video is harmful if it doesn't systematically cover everything important. Imagine the scenario: some person searches for this knowledge and all they watch is your video, where you omit almost everything critical that they may need to know. They will mistakenly believe the side effects only consist of what you said. Nowadays it's darn difficult to find high quality resources that are backed by something. All I did was to test your review by using a very specific use case, and you failed the test, so I can only wonder how many other things have you also missed. I don't have a better fact-checking algorithm available, and so don't people who are new to this topic.
I agree that these videos don’t include 100% of information out there on the medication. However, that was not the intent when creating them. This video was meant to be a short overview hitting the main points. It actually has more information in it than the FDA created patient handouts on this medication.
Anyone who uses these videos as the end all/be all of decision making is going about it the wrong way. These are in no way are meant to be a substitute for conversations with your physician. With that being said, sadly, many people do find these videos to be more informative than their conversations that they’ve already had with their provider.
If I were to talk about every single aspect of every single medication, the video would be hours long, especially things that occur in far less than 1% of people.
I get the channel may be too basic for some, and you might be one of those people. However, it’s a stepping stone for many and it opens the door to further conversations with their health care team. Feel free to pass on watching further videos if they aren’t for you.
@@dralywood Well, the use-case of using it to treat a problem and then trying to discontinue the medication as soon as possible, to avoid being naively stuck on it for a lifetime if your doctor doesn't care about your long term health, is the most important use-case in my opinion. But I'm glad you're intentionally going deeper than the FDA handout, that's a great start. We live in a world full of misinformation where a lack of information is very dangerous, and there are no objective means to judge when someone contributes towards misinformation, because content creators like you don't have all the information available either, so there is no authority to judge if you've omitted something, we can barely judge if something isn't factual. All I'm saying is that you're responsible for gathering it somehow, and it will distinguish your channel from being another one of the pointless thousands of channels that don't provide any added value; they should all disappear from the face of the earth :) We could come up with thousands of examples of where someone omits a fact and thus changes the entire meaning of what they say, whereas if they mentioned the existence of some information even for a couple of seconds, nobody would need them to elaborate for one hour on the details. Anyway, my main conflict seems to be with how you view niche scenarios as only affecting 1% of people. I don't have the clinical data, so I can only project my prejudices where I believe it's a more serious scenario that practically affects the majority of people. It's like saying harmful nutrition only kills 1% people; no, almost 100% people need to be aware of what's harmful, and it indirectly causes so many health problems that need to be further treated over long term. Even if something only manifests the result you measure in 1%, everyone has that possibility... As I said, maybe I'm wrong and Risperidone doesn't really "cause psychosis on withdrawal" as that's the specific point I tested you on, in which case your info wouldn't be responsible over people getting repeatedly hospitalized and having their life ruined for example... It's really difficult for ordinary people to gather actual data, and I'm sure research isn't easy for you either, so I'm just providing references to be considered. All I'm saying is, good luck in making high quality research in your further videos.
I TOK 2MG RISPERIDON EVERY NIGHT BUT IM AFRAID TO SLOWLY AND NO WOKE UP WHY
Is 3 months of taking this drug considered a long time to Change your brain Irreversibly?
Dear swiss chem (name asaph karanja kinuthia doha qater prisons)#?😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
What is the drug risperidone used for?
Risperidone is used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or irritability associated with autistic disorder. This medicine should not be used to treat behavioral problems in older adults who have dementia✍️
Then what should be used to treat behavioral problems in older adults who have dementia?
Anxiety?
@@ungarlinski7965"Treatment" 4 behavior issues is PUNISHMENT!!!!!

It's not for anxiety disorders worse thing wrong medicine treatment I must go to hospital again right
Should this be used on a senior? With also clonazepam(for 2 years?)
yes thats fine. that's what im on.
Hi dear today ai went to a psychiatrist in Paris for my trichotillomenia he prescribed 1 mg of risperidone what do you think
www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/trichotillomania/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355193
Overall, Behavioral therapy and Cognitive therapy have been shown to have the best outcomes. However if there is a co-morbid diagnosis (like anxiety) driving the trichotillomania, then prescribing a medication may help.
Yes, it seems like some prescribers have used anti-psychotic but I do not believe there is much research to stand behind. As always I recommend patients take a good look at the side effect profile.
I hope this helps.
Dr. Rob

Same here nothing works for my child always getting suspended
There is another similar one called Aripiprazole one may work better than the other depending on the person taking it so speak to your Dr if you haven’t already.
My tenant seen Zombies when he went off of it.. no lie
Why these all Anty Psychotics medicines have more or less bad side effects ? It's like treating one problem with no guarantee of a good success rate and wait for another problem as a result of these medicines ?
Thank to risperidone i can smoke cannabis again without manic psychosis 😂❤🎉
What does risperidone do to an Autistic Person??
Can 0.5mg a day cause Side effects?
I also wanna know I started drinking it 5 days ago and I have starting getting breast milk in my breast I need answers,, because I asked my doctor if there is any side affects and she said on this low dose it will not get side effects because it’s so low 😭😭 Omw I don’t know !!
My paralysed wife having laziness and more sleeping by using rispirodone 4mg at night. Remedy for this
I'm on 4mg at night . Get her to take multi vitamins and codliver oil capsules when she takes her dose if at night like I do . When you wake up she will find she has more energy to start moving around. It does drain your adrenaline aka fight or flight energy that's why she will have no energy to move etc
i use to be on this medication for BP1 as a teen a coude not orgasum from sex i stoped all my meds at 21 and now at 34 after 5 or 6 manic episodes im back on meds atm only taking 400mg of lithium and going to be tapering off nitrazapam for sleep thinking of going on seroquil long term for sleep as my mind is way over active at night and loosing sleep and in mania but benzos are dangerus and witdrals can last years due to gaba reseptor dammaged
⚡QUESTION OF THE DAY⚡ What has your experience been with this medication? Share the good, the bad, and the ugly!
I was put on this at 14 for ocd. I hated it. Was drowsy all the time, was self conscious about the weight gain so I flushed those pills. My parents were mad, they thought it was "calming me down". I think it was irresponsible to put a teen on this.
This is a Black box warning for movement disorder. Risperdal should never be given to children. The state of Missouri sued the Pharmaceutical industry for prescribing medication to children, the pharmaceutical industry settled out of court. I would never take any type mood stabilizers, any type of mental medication. The question is where any scientific research that shows any cures. All dreamed up by big Pharma.
It does nothing for my child. She still has the same behavior or worse
I didn't have any negative side effects from the medication. I would take it at night cause it would make me drowsy. My issue did stop after taking it. I did experience TD but I'm not sure if that was from Risperidone alone or from the antidepressant I was taking.
I took Risperidone for 1 year and 10 months. On the year and ninth month, it caused me to twitch. My psychiatrist then slowly weened me off of it and now I am taking something to stop the twitch.
Is this the end of the world ?😮😮
Is this medicine good?
It can be very effective in those who take it for indicated reasons. However, like with all medications, they all have their benefits/risks.
Dr. Aly
The best remedy for sickness is a glass of wine.
Can you drink alcohol with it?
Great question- Per the FDA label, "Patients should be advised to avoid alcohol while taking Risperdal."
Dr. Aly
Risperidull! Completely numbs emotions terrible big pharma!
Also why it kills dementia patients, makes an already existing neuro degenerative disease worse to the point that it causes sudden heart failure.
It made me obese don't take it
