169-abb-risperidone-cant-think-emotionless

Open original source ↗
I used to have delusions and severe paranoia. This medicine actually worked like magic, as both delusions and paranoia were now gone. However, I have gained weight (about 16 kg) within a year of usage, cannot concentrate and think clearly, have a foggy memory, and sometimes cannot visually focus on things! These factors gave me bad headaches, and they were severe during the first three months. Now it has been a year, and my body is starting to adapt to the medicine. The headaches are almost gone and do not happen as frequently as before. I also have become emotionless, as nothing excites me anymore.
Cause
Abb...: risperidone for schizophrenia; taken 1 to 2 years. Helped delusions/paranoia but attributes cannot-concentrate/think-clearly + become emotionless (nothing excites) to the drug, plus weight gain and foggy memory.
Duration
About 1 year on drug at Apr 5 2021 review (tag 1 to 2 years); still on with adapting body; emotionless state ongoing at posting
Recovery notes
Last known still on risperidone; headaches less frequent after adaptation but still cannot think clearly and emotionless. No recovery of emotion/cognition claimed.
