11th Risperdal Update - Feeling Good
August 10, 2026··
taper update
Feeling good. Been having bouts of appetite changes, gi upset, and sweating.
Feeling fine generally. I'm sleeping well, seven or eight hours a night. I've been a bit less hungry which is fantastic. (I gained 40kg in my first two years on risperidone and I'm very slowly losing it.) I won't go into detail about the gi upset.
I feel like I'm getting off lightly with this reduction, one week in, no headaches, no nausea.
So far, so good.
