Questions about Risperdal

Posted by sdjeff on January 18, 2005, at 1:54:15

Hi,

I might be discontinuing Zyprexa due to Metabolic Syndrome. Risperdal has been suggested. I have a few questions about it. My dx is Major Depressive Disorder with psychotic features and Generalized anxiety Disorder.

1. How is Risperdal on weight? I can handle a few more pounds, but not a lot.

2. Is it good for Anxiety? The Zyprexa keeps anxiety in check for me.

3. Is it sedating or activating? I've had bad luck with Abilify and Geodon. Too activating, agitating.

4. How long does it take to work? Zyprexa took 3 months.

5. Will it increase or decrease my appetite?

That's all for now, thanks.
