3rd Risperdal Update - Feeling Good

July 22, 2026··

Posted in:Risperdal (Risperidone)Success Stories

Feeling good. Been having bouts of fatigue and still sweating at the drop of a hat. Had a very minor surgery a week ago and just getting over that. My plan is to reduce to 0.3mg for August. Nothing going on in my life that'll be affected by some nausea and headaches. Fingers crossed it'll go smoothly!
