" How exacty are you feeling on risperidone ?
I have been taking risperdal for more than a year now, and there is some symptoms I think I can relate to risperidone: no pleasure in anything and difficulty to concentrate.
I would like to quit it, but my Dr. says I am going to switch to manic if I stop. "
