As I have mentioned in an earlier post Risperdal was the best thing that happened to me.I started taking it again despite the galactorrhea.
I have found freedom from depression and for the first time ever have felt OK about myself.
No anxiety, no suicidal thought, no obsessive thoughts, no paranoia, no free- floating anxiety.I've taken anywhere from .5 mgs to 2 mgs. The trick for me has been to find the right dosage.
I currently take Adrafanil and Neurontin.
Best Wishes and I pray this helps you.
