Does anyone here takes risperdal against ocd and is it dangerous?

I'm supposed to take it and don't. I have a medication phobia. I 've been
subcribed a very low dose to help stablalize my mood swings. I don't think
I need it. Plus, I don't want to need it. I'm feeling like shit right now
being in a medicine switch. I hate this f#*king shit so bad. I feel angry
and hostile. I just want to be normal.

Im sorry if this is insincere but what is the fun i being normal!!! I
rather like that I have to touch a metal doorknob 3 times before opening
it. Hehehe makes me a little different. But seriously, hang in there
dear.. we all understand your frustration and anger. The only suggestion
I have is turn all that energy towards something contructive.. that way
you will at least have something to show for it Chin up my dear!

Thank you.

I've taken it in the past. It helped with the obsessions, but ultimately
made me too groggy during the day to be worthwhile. I've had much better
luck with Serequel. As far as it being dangerous, I wouldn't want to
drive within six or eight hours of taking it, but that's about it.

So it's only metal doorknobs? The antique glass ones are different? Just
curious because I know how weird OCD can be with stuff like that.

i took risperdol at one time. not for ocd though. was to help me think
clearer. as far as i know its not dangerous. good luck!

Well. I was prescribed Risperdal two years ago, and I must confess that it
is a really working medicine, in fact only Risperdal and Zyprexa are
considered to be serious meds to treat Schizophrenia and Schizophrenia alike
illnesses - where OCD belongs.

I think Risperdal can help you especially during the major crises, but later
I suggest to find milder
drug!

.... and take a time, I was taking 0.5 mg and the effect was notable after a
week, or two...
Now, I take Seroquel since I don't have a need for stronger med

Sincerely,
Michael
