The half life of Risperidone is 20 hours, multiply by 5 would be when it is completely out of your system so 100 hours so basically in less than five days it would all be gone. This information is from my PDR. It makes no difference how long you have taken a drug in how long it stays in your system.

I tell you what, there's no way in hell that the crap in risperdal / risperidone left my body in 5 days!  It took about 8 months of hardcore cardio exercise for me to purge this poison from my system.  I would sweat so much after I tapered off of this, and it would smell like putrid chemicals, and definitely not something that would ever come from a human being..

Please NEVER take this stuff unless you want to be chemically lobotomized..

It's so funny to read all kinds of "educated comments" from people who've never taken this poison.. ie, doctors.. Like they're "experts" or something.. Most of our doctors are getting their education about these drugs from pharma companies or professors that have been bought and paid for by big pharma.. I'd like medical knuckleheads to try benzos and/ or risperdal for several months / years daily, and then tell me how they feel, and that there's no "discontinuation issues" when they try to get off of these terribly dangerous drugs..

What's happening with these drugs that are supposed to "help people" is criminal, but doctors and big pharma aren't being held accountable.  They should be tried for "crimes against humanity", and severely sentenced.

Risperdal slowly took away my soul and all of the things that made it fun to be me.  I'm 6 months off of it, after being on it for 4.5 years.  It was positioned to me as a very safe, "mood stabilizer", yeah right.. It made me stupid and made me gain weight, I'm glad I didn't get the man boobs, or TD..

A couple of months off of it, my hard exercise began to pay off, and I've dropped 30 lbs.. my face looks less swollen and my body isn't bloated anymore.. It was very difficult to taper off of, but now I have a chance to live.  I firmly believe this stuff will ruin your life, and then kill you if you stay on it..
