Hi,
I have been taking .5 mg risperidone and 20 mg citalopram for several weeks. The citalopram works best for depression and anxiety problems but without risperidone I feel very unreal. The problem is that I was told to take 1 mg risperidone but even on half that amount feel that it is a matter of time before I develop severe depression and serious side effects, as has been my experience with APs several years ago, so I can't take the drug for too long. It is already beginning to have a problematic effect.
Is there anything, conventional or alternative, which may have a similar effect to low-dose APs, which can be taken as a substitute and perhaps also act as an AD (discluding drugs with a "zombie" effect, such as mood stabilizers may have).
Thanks,
Nellie.
