Can risperdal get you high?

Risperdal or Resperidone is an atypical anti psychotic. To get right to the heart of the question, sure it can get you buzzed, but high like snorting coke or the like, no not really.Yet since it is used to control many aspects of ADHD, such as Ritalin which many people and youth abuse for highs for staying up late to do college finals or loose weight, then sure it would work.Having been a professional crushed of everything and anything up the nose, when my fav drugs weren't around, I highly HIGHLY suggest not snorting Risperdal------------------------------------------------------------------------Okay don't listen to the person above this. Risperdal is NOT used to treat ADHD, its a mood stabilizer. Mood stabilizers are used for manic depression (bi-polar), schizophrenia, ect.. Ritalin and Risperdal are two very different medications in two very different families.Risperdal is like a lesser form of xanex, at least that's what I think it is. It works effectively and quickly. But too get high off of it, is difficult. Mainly because if you're not used to the feeling of it, it will probably put you right too sleep, depending on the dosage. 0.5mg is what they usually start people out on and it will NOT get you high. 1mg is after and that is when you start getting into the previous thing I said. It will probably just put you too sleep.I don't recommend trying to snort them, its not worth it honestly. If you're going to even try to get high off of it, I'd just take it orally. Don't waste your time crushing up all those pills when you probably won't get any kind of effect.I will say that it will chill you out very nicely, you'll feel calm and kind of euphoric feeling, but nothing like xanex and benzos. It's used to calm a person down, if you're so pissed off that you literally think you could hurt someone and not even think twice about it, you take one and 10 minutes later you're chill as shit.But no, I don't personally think you can get high off it. I've taken 25 of them trying to OD one time and I survived, all it did was make me sleep for like two days.Souce; I've been taking it for 2 years.
