"this is my first time taking risperidone 0.5g for bipolar schizoaffective disorder, and it&#039;s my first week. i have always been 100% against medication but it came to the point where i could no longer suffer alone. my mind has now changed about medication. i was concerned with bad side effects, but all i had was a feeling of slight anxiety and heightened senses days 4 and 5 only, but i pushed through and i&#039;m fine.



although it&#039;s early days yet, i am very happy! my mind has stopped racing, i am not thinking people are judging or talking behind my back, i feel relaxed, can handle crowds and i&#039;m not angry or have raging irritability, and better sleep.



i&#039;ll give a new review within a month, but i should have done this sooner."
