> That's why I hate antipsychotics. There's a load more side effects with risperidone than sedation, and your pdoc knows it too. I don't like that kind of dishonesty in doctors. As far as cognitive impairment goes, Solian is probably the 'cleanest' of all antispychotics. Actually at low doses it doesn't really act like an antipsychotic at all - it almost has the opposite effect. I was on 200mg in hospital, and lately I've been taking 50mg as required when I need a mood boost, but I haven't noticed much cognitive impairment from it. I doubt 100mg would be doing a great deal for psychosis, so could you either lower the dose or come off it?

> QI am pretty sure that solian messes around with my short term memory and visual short term memeory. this side effect happend to me from 25mg and above..and i don't think i am the only one. I read in babble archive that some1 wrote solian made him feel or think 'thin' ..this is how he felt with it, this is how i feel with it. But its exacly the shorter-memroy-feeling.
INMO solian is better then other antipsychotics in the cognitve deficits regard because it doesn't have serotnin antagnoism that makes ADHD like simptomsthe problem that at lower doses of solian i get anxiety thoughts...ie- when i am stopping on red light while driving, i start having anxity thoughts, and afraid that the man in the car behind me will horn me if i will not start driving at the secend it traffic light will become green..
this anti-axiety effect wasn't that good in the previous antipsychotics i tried, so i could get off them..but with solian i can't..
