I'm rarely on Risperdal long term, but the times I have been on it for more than a few days at a time, I find it makes me feel more energetic and less hungry. But in the long run, that would probably reverse itself.
I might be able to do away with my therapist if I could take Risperdal long term. I call it ego strength in a bottle. But I know that because of my diabetes, Risperdal has more side effects and is more dangerous to my health than therapy. Although when therapy isn't going well, I wonder. Therapy and Risperdal both serve the same function.
I'm sorry you haven't found any meds that are as effective. I've had the same experience you have. This class of drugs is the most effective for me, even on an as needed basis.
