Hello, I'm on Risperdol and it seems to be helping with the delusions and psychotic behavior, but all I want to do now it EAT! And I most definately do NOT need to eat anymore than nessesary to sustain life. Does anyone else have this problem and what do you do about it? It has to be the meds as I normally do not eat when depressed and I have never had THIS kind of compulsion to eat before. Help me!
I can say that you are not alone on this one-being hungry and eating alot on the Risperdal. I am no longer on the 9 mg that I took for psychosis, it was also great for my angry spells and delusions. I would eat almost a whole meal before bedtime.
Zyprexa and Risperdal, both made me VERY hungry. I now take Abilify and am going off Seroquel, because of weight/blood sugar issues.
Thank you so much for replying FlyingHound. I really thought maybe it was just me alone in this and that I was some kind of weird food addict(which hey, I may be, but this seems to be just since the meds). I've been on Seroquel before and it gave me terrible nightmares but didn't seem to have this kind of effect on the eating, on ambition, now that's another story! Thanks again for your reply I'll be talking to my doc about it and seeing if there is something else we can do or try. I'm diabetic and can't go on eating like this and worrying about the sugars too.
I'm also on risperdal and eating way too much but I am only taking .5mg per day. Is there anyone out there who is constantly hungry who is taking the same kind of low dosage that I am? I am being treated for major chronic depression. Also insofar as using this forum is concerned when I tried to initiate a new topic I was able to type things in on a screen but then I couldn't find where to see it! Help Thanks!
This is the disorder in the people that their mood becomes worse after some time. They are sitting with you in a good mood but after some they become infuriated. I have searched on https://www.paraphrasinguk.com/ This is not their issue it is a disorder common in most people.
Risperdol and EATING, help me!!!
