Specializes in Psychiatry

Risperidone: Is an antipsychotic, not first indicated for mdd unless your mdd is severe with psychotic features. Please go and see your psychiatrist. Your difficulty swallowing food could be a side-effect, the loss of appetite is unlikely, Risperidone usually tends to increase appetite. My recommendation again: please make an appointment to see your dr as soon as possible. Best wishes!
