Keli,

Resperdol Consta (the shot) is basically the same as the pill form of resperdol except that is a time released method. You have to get a shot every 2 weeks and usually after the 3rd shot (6 weeks) you can really start to see the effects. Most pdocs will leave you on the pill form as well as the shot for about a month then take you off the pill. I mean it helped me and others and the good thing is that they say most of the time you can come off alot of the other meds which can help you lose weight. I dont know just a thought. I think you can look it up on webmd.com and do a drug serch for risperdol consta and it will tell you what is used for and just about everything you would need to know. Just trying to help.
