Noëlleshalo Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hello everyone! I hope this finds you all happy and well today :-) I was hoping someone could give me some advice if possible. I've been on the Risperdal Consta injection at 37.5mg for 7 years and, at times, it's gone up to 50mg and dropped back down etc. At the moment I'm on 37.5mg and have been unwell according to my CPN and Psychiatrist so he has decided to put me Risperidone tablets to boost the injection a 1mg BD. So far, after 1 week, with both of them I have noticed no difference whatsoever, had anyone else been on both and if they have how long do the tablets roughly take to work? I know it's different for everyone, but the side effect leaflets usually say...it's just I have the injection too so I don't know when to call it a day on this type of oral medication. Thank you so, so much and have lovely days. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Discomfort Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I would have thought it would have been quite fast being you're already taking risperidone but I really don't know. Can you ring your care co-ordinator or psychiatrist? A week can seem like a very long time when you're not feeling well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
