I was on an Risperidal for a few weeks along with a low dose of Nozinan, 10mg, to sleep. I'm experiencing apathy, anhedonia, I'm not even hungry, I get bizzare violent thoughts or amoral thoughts, and trouble dealing with things. I never had this before. Somebody told me it was because of downregulation of the receptors that weren't blocked by the drug. If so, how long will it take them to upregulate again?
I did a little test and took 0.5mg ( as opposed to 3mg which I took for a week in the hospital ) and I got my feelings back a bit, but my arms stopped swinging.
I'm only on a mood stabilizer but I feel worse than ever. I've never felt so apathetic. I wouldn't call this depression, and I know it's directly related to the Risperidal.
