What is it like to be a medicine intern?

I take a medicine called Risparidone to make me calmer, but I am experiencing horrible side effects.?

  • I told my doctor the side effects I have been experiencing and that it makes me feel very horrible, but he still thinks I should keep taking the medicine. Do you believe someone should have to keep taking a medicine that makes them feel bad both physically and mentally. I take it before I go to bed, and it makes me get really dizzy, makes me sweat and get hot in bed, makes it hard for me to stand, walk, talk, and moves me legs, arms, and muscles in the body. My whole body feels weak and like it's going to physically collapse. I can't complete basic tasks when I take this medicine, and I measured my heart rate last night 1 minute after I took it and it was 105 laying down on the ground after I did that for 15 minutes and relaxed. Before I took my medicine and before I started laying down, my heart rate was 85. Before I started taking the medicine, my heart rate would be well below 40 just on average. Ever since I started taking the medicine I feel mentally and physically tired throughout the day and my heart has to work harder to pump oxygen through my blood and brain, and I get light headed and out of breath very easy after I take the medicine. I told my doctor that it I have trouble breathing even when laying down after I take this medicine, and when I take it at 6:00 PM in the evening, for example, I still feel the horrible side effects well into 11:00 AM the next day, which makes getting up in the morning very hard for me. The medicine was originally designed to calm me down because my doctor thought that since I get angry easily I need it, but I told him that I was happy before he prescribed me on Stattera, which I told him deals with attention and concentration but still makes me calm and tired, and then he assigned me Clonotine to make me more calm because after I took Stattera I could focus better but then I got real angry and didn't laugh, couldn't laugh, and couldn't enjoy company I am taking the physco-stimulant stattera and have taken since I was 5 for 10 years, which makes me more focused and calm, but combined with Risparidone which my doctor told me was a tranquilizer just makes me feel weak, my muscles feel limble, I have tremors in me legs and arms and head, I have chest pains, and I feel like my heart is about to explode after taking the medicine. I have also experienced feeling very cold after I take this medicine. I actually switched doctors, and the doctor who prescribed me risparidone said he gave it to me to help me sleep better only because stratter makes it easier to focus but harder to sleep and have a really good sleep, which is probably because I'm so use to needing something to help me sleep now that it's been harder for me to sleep, but now the doctor is telling me risparidone is a behavior medication because I get moody sometimes, and I said he is wrong and my original docot prescribed it only because Strattera made it hard to sleep better. Clonodine made it hard for me to sleep in the long run but made me calmer because the more I took, the more my body was use to needing something to sleep, so it's harder to sleep and just feel the good sleep when I sleep at night unlike before I started taking Risparidone. I need help, and opinions on this would be great. Thanks.
