It doesn't say on my prescription of Risperdal or tegretal whether or not I should chew or I should swallow whole. I chew them sometimes and I think I get a different affect. It's more strong when I chew.

Chew if you need qick results. swallow if your balanced:)

I think that your supposed to swallow whole. Give a ring to your pharmacy and ask them. Doesn't it taste like CRAP?? If it does then that means you need to swallow whole. Hope this helps.

I am reasonably certain that unless it is clearly stated in the directions...you should always swallow them whole. I have heard of meds you are not supposed to even break in 1/2

I once tried snorting. Left over from my druggie days I suppose. I don't recommend it unless you enjoy having razor blades in your nostrils.

I've tried snorting it before too, but I didn't get any affect from it so I stopped immediately.

you are interesting, bry

They might be slow release and should be swallowed whole. If you chew them you are getting the whole dose at once.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
