last night was day 3 of starting my risperidone and tbh I think it gives me a bit of a headache. I have to drink fluids nonstop but it's hard when I have my son running around and with my bf being locked up I don't have a helping hand out here. it makes me dehydrated I passed out the day after I started it 😳 any tips to ease into these meds? ik it doesn't actually start working like it should for a another like week and a half but hey, I haven't cried yet 😂. knock on wood?

      My memory of starting risperdal or risperidone was that it was exhausting and took a lot of energy out of me at first but then after enough over a couple of days it stabilizes. Do you feel like its helping with some of your symptoms of concern? Something else you could do is discuss with your medication manager if you could lower the dosage, because it might just happen to be the case your dosage is too high for you (BMI etc). Good luck, hope that helps
