Bipolar Disorde
"I started taking Risperidone a number of months ago after a psychotic episode. I&#039;m prone to episodes of psychosis especially with very bad agitation, paranoia, and delusions and have been hospitalised before for this. I&#039;ve been on Quetiapine, Olanzapine, Amisulpride, Clopixol (depot injection) and Clozapine. I am currently taking 3mg of Risperidone along wIth Venlafaxine. I take it before bed at night. It gives me a nice calm relaxed feeling and I find I can usually sleep better with less anxiety and voices at night. I don&#039;t suffer side effects and I think if people practice mindful eating and try to exercise a bit then they shouldn&#039;t gain weight, I haven&#039;t. I think this drug controls my symptoms well and stops mania."
