Question 3

I recently developed  high prolactin levels induced by risperidone. suddenly my dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) s effect has weakened massively. may this be the prolactin?

Accepted Answer

First, it would be informative to know why you are taking these medications. Risperdal is primarily an antipsychotic and Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) is primarily a stimulant. High prolactin levels could cause serious side effects such as breast development. See your doctor and ask if he could change your medication or at least reduce the dosage of risperidone.

The is a condition called serotonin syndrome that can occur with zoloft and risperdone which is pathological and includes many oter symptoms including agitation, twitching, abnormal vital signs and mental status changes to seizures and coma.  SO yes it could but it would be part other more serious symptoms.

Question 6

Is it possible to get brain damage from risperidone?

Yes, antipsychotics cause brain damage, particularly with long term use at higher doses, but there is a risk at ANY dose of  Brain damage! The antipsychotics also cause cognitive problems.   Nancy Andreasen did a antipsychotics study, in animals confirming  that antipsychotics shrink the brain. Now, clearly some of the brain damage can be reversed but may be irreversible.
