Fidget Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 anyone suffered this? I seem to be in the midst of it right now. I was on 2 mg but i was having out of control weeping all day long so i cut my dose down to 1 mg. Then i started having stomach trouble. I saw Pdoc and he removed me entirly from Risperdal... stomach got worse, sleeping is hard, my legs are buzzing and i want to claw someones eyes out. Today i found snippets here and there about withdrawl from this drug but nothing specific about how long withdrawal symptoms might last or if they will get worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdiamond Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 My Pdoc told me there was no such thing as Risperdal withdrawals, but I think that's crap. I stopped Risperdal cold turkey and suffered bad insomnia and agitation. I ended up in the hospital for severe anxiety and over exhaustion. I think the Risperdal definitely caused that for me. I don't know about your stomach problems, though. But I can definitely relate to the sleeping troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidget Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 My legs are worse today and i want to turn myself inside out, puke until it stops and then sleep... I wish my husband could come home from work so I could just knock myself out and sleep through this... there is a very good reason i never did illegal drugs... withdrawal SUCKS!

Velvet Elvis Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 From my experience, discontinuation effects from APs are typicly much shorter-lived than those from SSRIs. I don't remember how long it took me to get past the ones I was getting from risp, but I'm pretty sure it was around a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
