Reaction - Speech Impairment

After taking Resperadal for 9 days I suffered an episode where I lost the power to understand simple documents and had a weakness in my legs. With 30 minutes my speech was seriously affected, I stammered, repeated words and repeated nonsense sounds practically constantly. That was 10 days ago. Since then I have bout of loss of comprehsion, some weakness, but that has improved and my speech, which was getting better has today regressed to about Day 2. I also have episodes in the night were I wake up repeating nonsense sounds. Sometimes they stop when I wake up, sometimes they go on for minutes after I wake.

Has anyone else suffered from these side-effects (this is what I was told these symptoms were). Anyone offer information on how long they last, anything that can help? Thanks!

Hello, Sue! How are you?

Have you stopped taking the Risperdal?

If so, then the symptoms should clear up, but it may take a week or two. I know this medication can cause some problematic side effects, as listed by the FDA, such as somnolence, weakness, drowsiness and weight gain, but I've not heard of anyone else having experiences like yours.

I hope someone else can chime in for you.

Are you on any other medications?
