Thanks Jay. I did read that this was a really good combination for you. I'm a bit afraid of the SSRI's because in the past they caused terrible flatness and anorgasmia in me. But I have been giving some thought to Lexapro. I guess it depends on how things work out with the Risperdal and with other things. Flat might not be altogether bad. But anorgasmia is always bad.
I really think mood stabilizers are the meds of choice for me. I've only occasionally had trouble with depression, and I've got my OCD under control (usually) with cognitive behavior techniques. The AP is supposed to stop my meltdowns that last approximately one week and occur every couple of months. Time will tell whether the meltdowns are more unpleasant than the Risperdal.
Do you have a problem with lack of appetite or a bit too much activation on the Risperdal? Does food taste a bit too strong?
Thanks,
Dinah
