"i have been on risperidone for about a week. i started getting chest pain on the second day but didn&#039;t think it was the medication until i was able to see a pattern between taking it and when they would occur. as of day 6 and 7 i am horribly hungry night and day. it also makes me sleepy during the day which is a pain since i have a young child. my inner anger, which was the main reason i was put on this has subsided though, so i&#039;m going to withstand these symptoms a bit longer and see what happens."
