> You didn't mentiom what mood stabilizer you're on- if any? Risperdal helped with my auditory hallucinations in both manic and depressive episodes. I took 3mgs/day. A lot of people get very agitated on it; that happened to me one time and the pdoc gave me mellaril. But other than that one time, it worked well. Best of luck.
Judy, thanks, I'm not on anything other than 60mg celexa, 75mg effexor, 5.0 zyprexa, and 2.0 risperidone. slowly getting off the zyprexa and adding the effexor. I am still thinking a lot of suicidal thoughts and highly depressed. I gained 72 pouns since I started taking the celexa and zyprexa.
