Post Traumatic Stress Disorde
"I was recently diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder.  I have nightmares all night long every night and very angry and annoyed with everybody and everything.  I am perfectly fine at times and then will suddenly freak out for no reason.  I have only been on risperdone for 5 days now, but have noticed that I am able to sleep soundly at night and the mood swings have stabilized.  However, I am feeling very sedated all day and find it hard to get out of bed in the morning.  I can&#039;t seem to sleep enough.  My anger issues are also still there, but I am hoping they will subside in time.  Unfortunately, my appetite is insatiable! I&#039;ve already gained 6 pounds!!  I&#039;m already a heavy person and am worried I will eventually need to be removed with a fork lift!"
