The risperdal is a good short-term med until you are on a sufficient dose of Lamictal. Personally I take it prn and it works fantastic. If you're unhappy with taking an antipsychotic then a valproate (e.g. Depakote) may be another short-term option to try. (Actually, both APs and valproates can be used long-term but Lamictal may be preferable: it's more tolerable in most people).
