Not sure if this drug can be combined with xanax. I could not fall asleep last night after taking risperdal. When I took it today I was heading to a dentist appt. My dentist asked me a question and I just couldn't seem to grasp what he was saying, it was like my mind went off. It was very strange. I didnot feel in control of myself. Is this normal? My pdoc will be disappointed if I quit this one so soon. I am so afraid of gaining weight and feeling wierd on these medicines. I don't even know if I can drink alcohol with this drug or what types of medicines I can take along with it. Does it affect your libido? Ifeel stupid asking my pharmacists since I have asked to many questions about other drugs I have taken and not stuck with. Sometimes I would rather keep taking xanax because of it's calming effect, but I have heard it is habit forming. I was previously taking 0.5 mg. once a day. I just don't understand why my pdoc won't just put me on a antianxiety med. I have always been anxious. I am sick of trying these wierd drugs that don't work and explaining to my pdoc that I just can't take it. My therapist thinks there is some reason I won't stick with these meds. I have told her it is because I don't want awful side effects. She doesn't seem to buy what I am telling her, but I can't seem to tell her anymore than what she wants, she was really wigging me out yesterday. Iwas really lost.
