What are you taking these drugs for? I tried zyprexa but found it too sedating (couldnt get out of bed in the morning) and was worried that it would cause weight gain because it made me so hungry. WHat's the deal with seroquel and geodon? Did you have your prolactin levels tested once you went off risperdal? I'm definitely interested in your experience, so perhaps you should e-mail me directly. yeltom@aol.com. thanks
> 0.5mg. My PDoc couldn't believe this, but my prolactin was way above the high bound of the norm.This is very personal. Risperdal is considered atypical, but is actually pretty much a 'typical' antipsychotic, especially considering the raise of prolactin.
