A member asked:

Why always after i drink coffee while i am lazy i heart beating fast and i feel tension? but when i am active and i drink coffe i am in good health.

Risperdal: Your medication's main side-effect is "laziness" (somnolence). It can also cause fast heart beat. I wonder if you're taking your medication and drinking coffee before these symptoms occur? When active (and distracted), all symptoms fade into the background.

Dr Beck and another doctor agreed
