my MEDS are making me NAUSEOUS right? and Y?
I recently started taking a higher dose of respiridol than I had been for the past few years. I went from 2 to 2.5 to 3 in about a months time. The switch to 3mg was about two weeks ago and for the past three days I've been nauseous and dizzy, my psychiatrist says any medication can cause those symptoms, I'm just wondering why it took two weeks for me to get the symptoms. Could I have something else going on with my body? Just curious if anyone else has had these kind of symptoms a few weeks after changing or upping a dose on their medication respiridol? It's a mood stabalizer I use to control the mood swings of my Bipolar Disorder.. any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
Did you change whether you took it with food or not? I don't know about risperdal specifically, but some meds can make you more nauseous when taken without food. Side effects usually crop up quickly, though, so it could be something else.
I have used this med, breifly, once. It made me dizzy and feeling 'drugged', so i complained to my doc, and he told me to take it before bed, and that worked. Since then, I have been taken off of this med, and replaced it with others that work better. Blessings - Blu
