When I was on Risperdal, I wasn't compulsive for quite a while. However, I stopped taking it because it increased my appetite (and I have eating issues). But I'm considering putting up with that because the situation has become bad again.

I have eating issues as well as picking too. I quit taking any meds that I think makes me more hungry or if I see the pounds creeping up. That's probably why I'm picking worse than ever now...the drugs that probably help the most probably increase appetite. My doctor thinks I need something calming, which, logically seems like it will just kinda slow you down all over, metabolism, energy, etc. Then again, she also has me on Adderall for the obsessive anorexic thoughts...I think it actually just keeps my weight low so that I end up not as upset about it. sorry if i'm not making too much sense. it's been a really long stressful day. i lost a document that i spent 9 hours working on yesterday at work, and had to start all over, on top of needing to completely finish my thesis and send to my committee tomorrow. i'm back here at the computer to do that now, and i've just been reading posts on this site (all the while picking all of my scabs that i tried so hard to resist today at work). oh well, i'll try again tomorrow. well, better get to that thesis...i'll try to come back soon.
