Hiya,
RISPERIDONE - I went up to 2mg, I was on it for about a week. The side effects were horrendous for me. Aching, sore muscles, restless legs, I was practically climbing the walls! Massive fatigue, constipation, overall horribleness.
ZYPREXA - I was on this for about 2 months. I went up to 20mg. It was very good for delusions etc, but eventually made me feel very low. And it still hadn't solved all the delusional problems. Put on a lot of weight also (but I was glad about this as I'm a skinny minx).
SEROQUEL - I'm just coming off this. I went up to 750mg. On for about 2 months or so. It made me feel really good, probably the best out of all of them. But doctor thinks we can get a better result with something else. Also, tiredness was a joke. I slept every day from about 9pm - 1pm the next day. Had no energy whatsoever. Put on a little weight.
Next I'm trying ABILIFY, I'll let you know how it goes!
