"In my case risperidone has only served as an antimaniac, it is neither antidepressant nor anxiolytic. I've only had one mania and the rest of my life depression, they gave it to me for mania and a couple more times for anxiety but it doesn't help me at all, and it makes me more anxious. Although I recognize that it is very useful for people who are more of the manic polarity, it is useless for people with a depressive polarity, where suicide is the main cause of death and therefore risperidone is useless for me."

"I must have tried at least a dozen different bipolar meds. This is by far the best. Has the least side effects and I am much more clear-headed than others. Love it."

"This medication did not work well for me at all, and I got the unfortunate side effect of lactation. At the time I was sixteen and that's just something that I was not willing to deal with."
