I told my counsellor at school that i have anxiety and stress and then my doctor prescribed me with risperidone is this a medication mistake?

Get a 2nd opinion: This is for major mental illness. Most physicians believe that meds, including heavy-duty ones like this, are greatly overprescribed in place of common-sense Rx (simple meds, talk, guidance) because of fear of liability if something happens. If you have serious mental illness & need this Rx, you have a right to an explanation. See another provider.

It's not a mistake: but you missed a piece. Please see a clinical psychologist or other mental health professional for treatment for your anxiety. A school counselor does not have the time or background to deal w/an anxiety disorder though they do lots of good work. Peace and good health.

Sounds inappropriate: Risperidone is an antipsychotic used for scjizophrenia and occasionally for bipolar disorder.It is often overused by providers for anxiety and depression for which it is not indicated.I suggest seeing a psychopharmacologist.Risperidone is a heavy drug and should not be used for anxiety and stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy, exercise, sleeping and meditation will do you more good without the risk
