i have white and orange/gold Risperdal tabs and got mixed up on dosages of each. can you help? ## The dosage depends on the description of the pill, a white oblong with R 1 on one side and JANSSEN on the other is 1 mg of Risperdal. An orangish gold with RIS 0.25 JANSSEN markings has 0.25 mg. If these are your pills, then I hope that helps. However, if these are not, please describe your pills so I can assist you better. ## Yes, and there are also a number of other generic forms of this medication from various manufacturers. Can you please post back with any specific markings on the tablets?

My l4 year old has cerebral palsy and is on Baclofin. I would like to know if Risperdal is compatible with this medication? ## When taking Baclofen together with Risperdal, be sure to look out for respiratory depression. Together these meds might might increase each other's effect in that respect. As such, you should also monitor how coordination and alertness are affected. Do not administer the Risperdal with tea or cola. And above all, be sure that you and the prescribing physician are always on the same page! Report anything unusual to them, and please take what I'm saying as a general guideline. There is no substitute for professional medical attention! I hope this helps...

my mother is under hospice care in a nursing home .I found out they are starting her on thorazine, she is very ill and is not going to be with us much longer ,she can't get out of bed or even sit up on her own but she is not shhitzophrenic .tc. why are they giving her this drug ## maybe to make her relaxed and to stay as comfortable as possible. I hope it works out for you ## They use it on patients that they feel a disruptive, need too much attention. It will turn her into a zombie. They used it for the same on my Mother. Be very careful ## They use it as a sedative, so they can ignore the patient! Find another place for your Mom , or just care for her at home.

sue ellen, because you have been on abilify for several years, i was wondering if there are other side affects besides the weight gain. Anything you can tell me about it would be helpful as i will have to consider using it long term or keep seaching for something that works for my situation. thanks, suzanne ## My son is on Abilify. He experiences severe sleep disturbance, blurry (double vision), and headache. At one time, he experienced erection problems. ## Simply put: your damned if you don't take it and damned if you do.

I am want ing to stop use of this medicine. Wish to have ways of doing so. All at once or day by day Thanks ## Mellaril is an antipsychotic drug, so coming of it cold turkey and without a doctors supervision and assistance can be very dangerous. I suggest speaking to your doctor about the best way to stop this medication. In addition, if you have been on it for awhile, then your body had become dependent on the drug and you will experience withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it abruptly.
