I did take Risperidal for depression/anxiety and it helped immensely, but it also made me tired and I gained weight. I switched to Geodon (another atypical antipsychotic)--it helps with anxiety and rumination, with no weight gain. Does make me a little spacey though. Now I take Geodon 20 mg, amantadine 200 mg, Lexapro 20 mg (which I'm now trying to switch to Cymbalta). I have a feeling that the Geodon anxiolytic effect wore off with time...
