"i was on 1mg of risperdone at night for psychotic symptoms from my depression. it didn&#039;t help with the voices, although it did make me feel calmer about things. it&#039;s apparently meant to be sedating although i didn&#039;t find this. side effects i experienced were increased prolactin (normal is anything below 500 and mine was 16,000!) so i&#039;ve had to discontinue it due to high levels of prolactin, and it also upset my stomach!"
