cheesecake Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 My dose has recently been increased to 300 mg per every 4 weeks. All was fine until a few days after the latest increase. Now I really struggle to get out of bed and I can sleep well in to the afternoon. Will this pass or should I consider lowering the dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellifluous Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 i would give it another time at your current dosage before requesting it be lowered. it can be an adjustment and though i've not experienced fatigue personally, in my experience it does take a few days to reach full efficacy and several months before it kind of levels out. i would try to stick with it for at least one more month...ideally three, but i can see how being so exhausted would be tough to slog through.

Wonderful.Cheese Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I just started risperdal and was and am so sedated. And when I'm not sedated and sleeping I'm super spacey and just doped up like. So I get it. I trust melli's advice. She knows her stuff and is very wise. Side effects generally tend to level out. Not always, but generally speaking. Or at least get milder in terms of being sedated. It does suck though to be tired like that for months. I hope you adjust to your new dose soon!
