> If it helped when he raised it six months ago then another increase might be an idea. If it really didn't seem to do anything when it was raised six months ago, then maybe think about not stopping it, but putting it back to 1 mg, and trying another drug too.
I didn't notice a difference. I was so depressed it seemed to overshadow everything. Now that i'm not depressed I thought I could deal with this now.

> If the other drug was really effective then you could most likely stop the risperdal. Xyprexa is a possibility, similar to risperdal but different enough to have some different effects.Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look it up online and see what it looks like. I definatly need some sort of change.

> Some of your thoughts sound pretty anxious (worrying), that makes me think of neurontin which was helpful for me for anxiety. Or other anxiety meds. If the thoughts just seem weird to you but aren't bothersome then neurontin probably wouldn't be worth trying.Usually they are how I have pre-anxiety before having a panic attack. Annoying at the least. I do want them to stop but don't want to be a zombie to get the desired effect.

> KateThanks for the suggestion. This pdoc does well when I come in organized. He listens better though he listens in general so that is good, but it goes by faster (less appointments to make the change) if I look like I've done my homework.
