"after going through my third manic episode i was prescribed 6mg of resperidal which immediately made me feel like an absolute zombie. i couldn&#039;t think clearly, was extremely tired all of the time l, and was unhappy. through the course of about 4 months my dosage is now 1 mg and i don&#039;t feel the severe side effects. good medicine in controlling the mania but in high dosages will make you feel like a zombie"
