> I wonder if Risperdal is to blame. Lol.I repeat my earlier post. You know Klonopin works, so take that instead. Are you schizophrenic? Are you psychotic? Risperdal's main indications are for those things. Certainly, there are off-label uses but frankly I am completely puzzled by a doctor who KNOWS you respond to a drug indicated for the very problems you have BUT then decides to give you a drug that he is not sure will work for you and the drug is not officially indicated for your problems. Get a new doc ASAP. Please, I mean NOW. THIS IS YOUR LIFE. Don't let some quack give you a drug for schizophrenia when you have an anxiety disorder and you KNOW THAT YOU RESPOND TO A SIMPLE BENZO. Get out the phonebook and make an appointment for TODAY. As I said, the faster you get control of this problem, the more able you will be to overcome it permanently.
Agressive Treatment, not STUPID treatment.
