This is translated from the Russian wikipedia page on antipsychotics and I can relate to almost every single symptom mentioned since Risperdal Consta. At least the Russians are honest and dont cover up the truth. The possibility of permanent (lifetime) anhedonia is terrifies me.
"Antipsychotics have a large number of side effects, such as decreased lifespan, weight gain, breast enlargement in both men and women, diabetes, involuntary movements and tics (late dyskinesia) and sexual dysfunction. In some cases, there has been an increase in the symptoms of the disease after withdrawal of the drug due to increased brain activity aimed at compensating blocked dopamine pathways. Rarely, but a dangerous phenomenon is neuroleptic malignant syndrome, resulting in a sudden increase in body temperature and a potentially lethal outcome.
After cessation of the antipsychotic symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia or psychosis, which can be confused with returning to the patient's initial condition. In many patients, antipsychotics have a negative impact on creativity, motivation, emotion, and thought, and may impair short-term memory and concentration, so some antipsychotics are called "chemical lobotomy."
