I really liked risperdal but it gave me some hormonal problems with oxytocin or prolactin. It was too sedating for me at 1 mg. so I would take .75. I think I actually had a euphoric feeling from risperdal! I took it for about 2.5 years. It took me longer than a week to get used to. I switched to seroquel about two mos. ago and don't like it as much and found it too sedating at 50mg. so I take 25 mg. Still, it's better than nothing. It'll do. My psychia. won't prescribe zyprexa for me because I'm already 50# overweight and he said everyone gains a lot of weight from it. Do you find that to be true for you?
