First off, you almost certainly will get better, if not on the current set of meds then on something after that. Second 4 weeks is not long enough of a trial to know whether the prozac is going to work. You'll need to wait at least 8 weeks to see if it really works. That doesn't mean that you'll have to suffer all that time. Your pdoc should be considering ameliorative measures. I don't know what your symptoms are but I'm assuming among them is anxiety. Risperdal is not a first choice for an anxiolytic (though it sometimes speeds up antidepressant response). Klonopin or Xanax or both are a better choice.

Post again, and let the psycho-babble people know in what ways you are suffering. They have a lot of experience and may be able to suggest things to try.

Keep plugging and you will feel better.

Britt
