Risperdal for intrusive thoughts?


Recommended Posts

So (understandably) my pdoc wants to entirely avoid SSRIs if he can in treating me, so when I complained about my intrusive and obsessive thoughts coming back to the forefront he increased my risperdal by half a tablet per day. I want to know, has anyone else had risperdal added/upped in order to treat OCD symptoms? If so, how did that work out for you?

I was up to 3mg risperdal, mainly as an AAP, but worked well for ocd. It was amazing, when I first started at 2mg, within three days my head cleared. Unfortunately, my prolactin levels went up during a several year period, my pdoc said that was hazardous due to bone loss, and I was taken off. 

Having marginal success, ocd-wise, with seroquel.
