My doctor keeps prescribing psychotic drugs to me and all they do is make me feel detached from reality and gain weight. I am on Risperidone .5 mg and the withdrawals are horrible. Can anyone help me? ## Wing yourself off these psychotic meds. They're bad news.

Hi, one of my friends was prescribed Risnia drops for irritability in daily activities, high temper, aggressiveness, and social withdrawal. Will administering the dosage at irregular intervals impact his health? If yes, how would his health/mental condition be affected if a single dose in a day is missed? If he is not diagnosed correctly and given this medicine, how could it potentially influence his normal behavior? ## Risnia contains the active ingredient Risperidone, which is a very potent antipsychotic that's often used to treat issues such as the ones you've said he had.

My son has been taking sizodon plus for over 2 years. He now has a govt job and he intends to stop this medicine. Is it advisable to do so? ## Hi, Humnum! If he's been taking it for that long, then stopping it suddenly isn't advisable.
