Vicky Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hey everyone! I just wanted to share that I am actually feeling better, instead of griping about meds, anxiety, etc. I started risperdal last week, .25 mg, very small dose, and had some trouble waking up too early and being tired during day. Increased to .5 mg, and actually had best sleep last night in a while. Granted, I go to bed at 9:30 pm, but hey, I'll take it. The overwhelming anxiety is down several notches. No self-harm thoughts. I know meds are not necessarily the permanent solution to emotional dysregulation problems (bpd, etc), but I am on a small pleateau of peace and I will accept the help. How's everyone doing? Any experiences with risperdal? Peace to ya'll! Vicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leadinglady Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 When am I gonna experience the miracle that is risperdal? I'm on 2 mg a day and besides being a little less mean to my kids, I feel nothing. I still feel like my skin is crawling, still want to escape, wanna scream, feel anxious. So is my dose just too low or what? I should mention I take it with Klonopin, Wellbutrin, Depakote, and lithium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
