A member asked:
Hi, i just want to ask, when taking resperidone for mdd. i am having loss of appetite and difficulty swallowing food. what medicine should i take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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!
