Risperidone (Risperdal) Nursing Drug Card (Simplified) - Pharmacology

[@nicolemisner5337]

I take risperidone and I have been on it for one year. I worked with my mental health doctor for an entire year to get on the right regimen. I take 1 mg in the morning, 1 mg at night. This med has helped keep my impulsive behavior low, my emotions good. It does however make me very tired, in all situations. I have experienced extreme weight gain with this drug. I was at 140 lbs, I’m now at 190 lbs, and can’t rid of the weight no matter what I do. If I miss a dose my body increases in anxiety, and my body shakes. I don’t recommend missing doses at all.

[@gabrielsiberianrifleman7358]

I don t recommend taking it anymore ,i took it for a month and it was not worth it ,life is so much more than drugs ,go and eat vegetables and fruits ,its better than whatever they will give you

Is it the medication that makes you put on weight or the fact you are eating more 🤔

Weird, against my doctors judgment I abruptly discontinued use of Risperidone and my anxiety and feeling of emptiness--strangely-- have went away. This is legal poison

[@cadeskaleidoscope]

Very helpful video. But what is risperidone actually made of? How does a lab actually obtain the molecules that make up risperidone?

[@NurseRyan]

Hi, according to drugbank.com, Risperidone's Chemical Formula is C23H27FN4O2. "This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyridopyrimidines. These are compounds containing a pyridopyrimidine, which consists of a pyridine fused to a pyrimidine. Pyridine is 6-membered ring consisting of five carbon atoms and a nitrogen atom. Pyrimidine is a 6-membered ring consisting of four carbon atoms and two nitrogen centers at the 1- and 3- ring positions." I don't have any experience with how medications are actually made in a lab.

[@mikepict9011]

Mostly they look at chemical waste from industry, Mostly petrochemical industrial waste and try and monetize it . I shit you not .

[@moondusk8385]

i was forced to take risperdal then went on to have 4 shots of paliperidone. i had my last one was feburary, i didnt have schizophrenia or anything, i was in hospital due my eating disorder. i am worried its done permanent brain damage. i have severe anhedonia, lack of motivation , slow thinking cant concentrate and imsomia. its now june and no improvement, i have no dopamine or serotonin . i am doomed and going to be like this forever

[@NurseRyan]

I am sorry you went through that. I hope you're feeling better now. Thank you for sharing your experience with this drug.

That's probably why it didn't work for my ADHD made me feel tired all the time and low moods I couldn't eat properly I was also losing weight and it made me very slow in speech and reaction time

[@NurseRyan]

I'm sorry to hear that. Sadly lots of people struggle with the side effects of these medications. It usually takes trying out a few different medications until you find one that works well for you, without too many side effects! I hope you found one that works! 🙂

[@Blackmoonsoulx]

@kushcloud how long had you been taking risperdal?

I definitely recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for the best information for your case, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes!

[@rammapula2814]

Hi me I asked a question What is the best to use than resperidone? Thank you so much

[@NurseRyan]

Hi, are you interested in medications that are similar to Risperidone? There are many other Atypical Antipsychotics which are similar to Risperidone, including Olanzapine (Zyprexa), Quetiapine (Seroquel), Aripiprazole (Abilify), Clozapine (Clozaril), and many others. I have videos for each of these drugs on my channel if you would like to check them out. But always remember to speak to your healthcare provider for any medical advice! - Ryan

[@GabrielleWilliams317]

I'm schizophrenic and i hget auditory tactile and visual hallucinations. I've just been prescribed 60 0.5 mg tablets to see if they work.

[@NurseRyan]

Wishing you all the best! Good luck and remember to report any concerns to your healthcare provider!

[@Jo-eh7ux]

How are you going? Are you still taking it.. I'm schizophrenic and have 0.5 mg but have not taken yet..has it helped you and have you put on weight

[@leilani5228]

After a month of taking that I started leaking. Yes my breast was producing milk ? What's up with that? Very little at first however eventually I could full on spray and needed to wear pads?

[@NurseRyan]

Hi, I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! That being said, I did find a lot of reports online of people with similar side effects. Like I mentioned, I would definitely recommend letting your doctor know about this!

[@nyawirawaithaka4993]

Thank you!

[@NurseRyan]

Glad to help Nyawira!

[@swindonian4ever]

Is risperidone stronger than ssri like citalopram and sertraline?

[@NurseRyan]

Hi, I would assume that it depends on the case. Risperidone may be more effective at treating certain issues, while an SSRI may be more effective for others. It would also depend greatly on the individual. Antipsychotics and Antidepressants can act very differently from person to person! I always recommend speaking to your primary healthcare provider or pharmacist for any actual medical advice 😀

[@therooster667]

I 5150 the other week and now they have me on this pill for bipolar or so they say , and I like to smoke weed, is it OK to smoke while on this? I just don’t want anything wrong to happen

[@NurseRyan]

Hi, I always recommend speaking with your primary healthcare provider for any medical advice. However, you might be interested in this study from 2017: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5603813/ In summary, this study showed that it is possible that THC can decrease the effectiveness of Risperidone in mice, though this finding has not yet been translated to humans. Again, always contact your healthcare provider for medical advice! - Ryan

I’m on olanzapine for about 3 years now but my new psychiatrist prescribed me respirdon but when I took it I couldn’t sleep and I got so sick , and dizzy, but is olanzapine or respridon better ???? Pls can you answer!!!

[@NurseRyan]

Hi, Olanzapine and Risperidone are different antipsychotics but they work very similarly. However, especially with antipsychotics, every person can have very different reactions when taking new medications. It is always best to consult your physician with any medical concerns when switching medications. They should have the best answer that fits your specific case.
