Risperidone?

I got it prescribed to me a bit over a week ago, but I've been scared of taking it since reading about the effects that it has had on people cognitively. I have previous experience with Aripiprazole (which turned me completely numb, dead inside and drained), and if Risperidone is anything like that I really don't want to take it as those months were some of the worst of my life. Does anyone here have any experience with the medication? How has it affected you?
