Risperdal similars?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Don't want to make the text so long, risperidone was given to me for the disorganized toughts I have. I was taking it at minimal doses (0.5mg) and it was working very well, but I had to stop taking it because of adverse effects and stuff and my "tought flow" is scrambled again. Does any of you also take some antipsychotic for this? I've read about olnzapine but im affraid of sedation.

      Thanks for your answer, katy! Just for curiosity, how old is your son? I think age may influence the sedation effect since my old pdoc used 2-3mg for children. Hope he gets out of hospital soon
