A member asked:

I've been taking risperdal for 10 months, but i have developed an ovarian cyst. should i ask for a different drug?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discuss: Rather than ask for a different drug as the first step, i would discuss with your prescribing doc your concern about taking Risperdal given that you have an ovarian cyst. Your benefit from Risperdal will need to be weighed against the potential impact on your cyst.
