[QUOTE="Christy, post: 326584, member: 225"] My son started taking risperdal in late May, since then he has been battling what we thought were seasonal allergies. His regular doctor perscribed Zyrtec which helped a little but the congestion continued to worsen and as the seasons changed we thought perhaps he developed an allergy to our cats. We took him to an allergist and he's not allergic to any of the typical allergans, pets, dust, pollen, mold, etc... She ordered a CAT scan of his sinuses to see if he had a lingering sinus infection-this was negative. Checking the side effect profile for risperdal, I see nasal congestion is a possible side effect and it makes sense because the worsening of what we thought were allergies relates to the gradual increases in risperdal. We can't seem to catch a break! Risperdal was working and we've been through most of the atypical antipschotics and mood stabalizers in the past. This was the best combination by far but now I guess it is back to the square one. Has anyone had this experience, nasal congestion, with risperdal or another medication? Are decongestants bad fo bipolar disorder? I've been told not to use things like Sudafed though I'm not sure why. Do nasal strays containing steroids mess with mood? I swear my son once became hypomanic after using maximum strength Cortaid on a rash. Thanks for sharing your experiences, Christy [/QUOTE]
