While I have not been on risperdol, I was placed on Seroquel and initially it was very difficult to take. The foggy mind, the racing thoughts, the fear of going out of the house, all were way to much to bear. After being on it in incrementally increased dosages, it has done a world of good for me with anxiety, my intermitent explosive anxiety disorder, bipolar and border line paranoid schizophrenia. I have now been taking 500mg per day and function closer to normal than I have in the last 5-6 years.
Alcohol and drugs both exacerbated my mental problems and it has been a very long haul over the last six months being clean and sober. Higher Power willing, I will hope fully reach my seventh month May 17. I say hang in there with the Seroquel and maintain regular dosing and regular check ups with your psychiatrist.
Best of luck.....
