> I take Risperdal as needed, .25 mg I think.
Is 0.5 mg a low dose? Your dose sounds really low if it is. Does that mean that I'm on a medium dose then? Kind of scared...don't know what to expect. Will I get as drowsy as being on Benadryl?
The p-doc told me to take it every night. Eeeek...every night! He said it wasn't a good idea for me to take it as needed. He also only gave me enough for 2 weeks. :-( Does that mean something??
Also, am I going to get fat now if I take it for more than 2 weeks? I really don't want to gain weight, but the pdoc basically told me that my instability is by far a greater danger to myself than gaining weight.
