resperidol

I take resperidol (risperidone) for bi-polar disorder.  Is it an anti-psychotic drug?

[Roger Gould, M.D.]

It is a powerful mental health drug that is used for a variety of purposes...the most important thing with this drug is to follow the instructions and the warning signs very closely and carefully and check with your doctor often.

I believe so. Someone I know takes that for schizophrenia. I'm not A Dr. though. I think if you look up the drug name on-line it will tell you all about it.

Yes, Risperdal or resperidone is an anti-psychotic.  It can be prescribed for bipolar disorder.
I sometimes use rxlist.com if I want to check out a med.

Yes this is an anti-psychotic, i take it in very low doses for my anxiety which is severe as an when i need it, in larger doses and taken everyday it's used for bi-polar and other ilnesses such as schizophrenia.
