I take 0.75 mg Risperdal for a combination of anxiety and my borderline tendendancies that only surface when I skip the Risperdal.
As I recently found out, I really NEED the Risperdal everyday. I skipped some days when I was very busy with my job hunt and I became extremely angry, depressed, distressed and suicidal within a few days.
The Risperdal makes me sleepy in the mornings if I take it too late at night, but other than that I don't really have any side effects from it.
I don't have bipolar, but the low dose of Risperdal I take really keeps my borderline personality disorder in check. My pdoc says I don't even meet criteria for borderline personality anymore. I only have borderline personality disorder when I don't take my Risperdal.
