"i&#039;ve always experienced generalized anxiety disorder but after 6 months of ritalin for my adhd the symptoms of anxiety worsened a lot, specifically evening/night, when ritalin starts wearing off.

i was experiencing racing thoughts a lot and to leave the house to do something outdoor was struggle.
my doc put me on risperidone at 1mg day at night.
i&#039;m on it for almost 1 month now and it has been helping a lot. no more racing thoughts, a lot calmer, start sleeping more easily.
the only side effects that i had were decreased sex drive and eating a lot at night (which actually is good for me because with ritalin you are never hungry). 
would def recommend."
