Because of my risperdal, I get tired. I take it around 9:00 at night, so it wears off before morning and I can wake up fine in the morning. But it gets my tired and I got to sleep about 10:00. Even on friday night when I dont have school the next day. Any tips for keeping my awake longer? I know, stupid question. Ill be lucky if this thread gets 1 reply.

Take your meds later on the weekends.

I didn't take a high dose of Risperdal, but when I was taking a moderate dose of Seroquel plus Haldol (both are antipsychotics as well) I would feel very tired too, but when I woke up, it wouldn't take that long to mentally wake up as well. :shrug:

You might want to talk to your doctor about it.
