risperdalhater I recovered from risperdal aka risperidone


Recommended Posts

It is good to hear a successful story of recovering from Risperidone.  What about your sexual drive mainly erection issues and sleep?  Has it come back to normal or less than normal? I have tapered off successfully after taking Risperidone for 1year. It has been more than one month I am not able to see any improvement

One month is not very long.  Generally recovery happens gradually over time, and will probably take a lot longer than you would like it to take, but it is not something that can be hurried.  Your brain is trying to adjust to not getting the drug anymore.

 

Please create your drug signature (will show below every post) which will allow members to see your drug history at a glance.  Members like to be able to see what drugs a member has taken, how long they have taken it/them and how they stopped the drug/s.  This will be helpful because you have not created an Introduction topic yet.

Hello I used risperidone for 1 week and I have disability due to risperidone. I am 1 month off from risperidone but I don’t feel okay. I am experiencing a severe depression. I cannot eat much. I lost apetite and sexual functions. I am taking fish oil and b12 now. Can I recover like you? I am not schizophrenic or bipolar.

Bonjour à tous, j'espère que tout le monde va bien. je tiens à remercier altostrata pour ce site web et je tiens également à remercier tous les bénévoles, alors merci.

 

Quoi qu'il en soit, je suis presque entièrement remis des effets nocifs de la rispéridone. Je ne pensais pas m'en remettre, au total il a fallu 14 mois pour me sentir "normal".

 

Voici un lien de mon premier sujet si vous voulez plus d'une perspective sur la façon dont j'étais:

 

http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/12502-risperdalhater-my-risperdal-story-and-how-it-has-affected-my-life/#entry234527

 

J'ai pris de la rispéridone pendant environ 3 semaines, je me souviens d'avoir commencé avec des doses de 2 mg par jour, puis après quelques jours, je me suis plaint de somnolence et de sensations bizarres, alors ils ont réduit la dose à 1 mg, puis après quelques jours de plus, ils ont progressé jusqu'à 3 mg par jour et pendant longtemps, j'ai reçu une injection de 7 mg à action prolongée qui peut être prise une fois par mois (si je me souviens bien).  

 

Vers la fin de la prise du médicament, j'ai commencé à me sentir très très somnolent et je me souviens avoir dit d'une voix faible et pathétique "Je n'aime pas ça, je veux arrêter", alors j'ai jeté la rispéridone à la poubelle et je ne l'ai plus jamais repris , j'ai arrêté la dinde froide. la semaine et demie suivante, j'ai vécu la pire expérience de ma vie jusqu'à ce point.

j'avais:

 

- tremblements constants

- pouvait à peine dormir

- tristesse extrême

- apparemment une absence totale de bonheur

- fatigue musculaire importante et faible circulation sanguine

 

ceux-ci ont tous disparu après cette semaine et demie, à l'exception de la fatigue musculaire et de la faible circulation sanguine. le sentiment de tristesse/blabla s'est amélioré à un rythme extrêmement lent. la libido est morte bien sûr (assez commun avec la rispéridone). Heureusement, je n'ai pas développé de seins ou de lactate comme certaines des victimes de la rispéridone, peut-être qu'elles l'ont pris plus longtemps ou ont pris une dose plus élevée.

 

mois 1-10 j'étais une épave fatiguée, les gens m'ont demandé pourquoi j'avais l'air si triste, je devais forcer mes sourires, etc. 

 

mois 10,5 = plus légères améliorations de l'énergie. rien d'excitant cependant. 

 

le mois 11-14 est le moment où la guérison commence à s'accélérer. j'étais sans espoir à un moment donné. Je me fiche que vous preniez le médicament depuis des années, je crois toujours sincèrement que vous irez mieux, arrêtez simplement le médicament. prendre ce médicament n'est pas la façon dont un être humain est censé vivre.

 

alors j'ai commencé à prendre des suppléments de niacine et ma circulation sanguine s'est améliorée, je le sais parce que quand j'étais au gymnase, je pouvais à nouveau obtenir une pompe musculaire, ce n'était pas si génial mais c'était là. quand quelqu'un soulève des poids, son sang est censé couler et le muscle que vous utilisez se remplira de sang et deviendra plus vasculaire, je n'avais pas ça sauf avant de prendre de la rispéridone. je soulève des poids depuis 5 ans, niveau rat de gym; Cela étant dit, je pouvais dire que quelque chose n'allait pas lorsque mon flux sanguin s'est affaibli. 

 

ne vous inquiétez pas pour la libido, elle reviendra tant que vous éviterez ces drogues de merde. Personnellement, je mets n'importe quel médicament dans la catégorie "merde", qu'il soit prescrit par un médecin ou non. J'ai entendu dire que lorsque vous montrez une faible libido, le zinc peut être un lien...  Oui, j'ai essayé de faire cette rime. 

 

faire analyser votre sang, j'ai entendu dire que les médicaments peuvent épuiser certaines vitamines/minéraux. encore une fois, veuillez faire analyser votre sang. la récupération ne se fera pas du jour au lendemain, peu importe le nombre de méthodes que vous utilisez pour vous aider.

 

suppléments qui m'ont aidé:

 

Magnésium calmant vitalité naturelle : c'est une forme de magnésium en poudre et il a mieux fonctionné que n'importe quel magnésium que j'ai essayé. 

 

Mélatonine

à ce stade, cela fait 14 mois et je suis rétabli, tout est revenu à la normale. vérifiez votre sang, complétez avec ce dont vous avez besoin, mangez bien, faites de l'exercice. merci d'avoir lu tout le monde. 

Hi @risperdalhater I can relate to your story someway. I had a psychotic episode or may be an extreme Derealization and Depersonalization and I've started to take risperdal 2mg, then 3mg, then I tried to stop CT and it was one of the most painful experience in my life, I felt so sad, so anxious, that I felt so bad in my body and mind. So harmful... You stoped to take risperdal CT that's it? How many days your extreme sadness lasted? Wasn't it physically very painful? I can say that you've been really courageous.

When you suffer psychosis how can you be sure that it's the meds and not your illness?

I was wondering the same here. When I tried to CT after only few weeks of risperdal, some symptoms I used to experience during the crisis (psychosis or DR/DP) came back: strange ideas, negative thoughts, may be delusions, I felt so bad and so sad I've cried spells and took the meds again. I still don't know if it s the meds, a psychosis condition rebound, or both. 

@risperdalhater Glad you did it! Hope you re doing better each day. 

Wanted to ask you if the symptoms you felt after CT were related to the meds or to the psychosis condition? And how were the paranoÏa/schizophrenic symptoms after that? 

Sorry for my question, I don't want to compare but I really need to figure this out or at least make things clearer to me. Thank you!

@dealwithadilI don't know what happened but your post above came through 9 times!

I just removed 6 more of the same post to risperdalhater, all the same as the one above.

 

It may take some time until risperdalhater returns to the site to respond.  Or swordiebroom, who you quoted.  I don't know if either of them are now active on the site.  We'll have to be patient.

Here is the post again:

Your post is there now.  Just the one time.  Plus the quote I did.

So no need to repost.  And yes, I assumed you had connection difficuties.  That does happen at times.

 

I'm not seeing risperidalhater or swordiebrom active here for quite awhile.  Just so you know.

risperdalhater last signed in 2020, and swordiebrom over a year ago.

 

You may get a response from another member, and/or post your concerns/questions on your introduction too....... if you have not already.

I'm just trying to keep the site tidy and otherwise on break right now.

 

Love, peace, healing, and growth, mmt
