In reply to Seroquel 200mg to Risperdol 5mg, posted by prime8 on July 25, 2009, at 2:14:53
> This has been tough for me. Anxiety is pretty high as I'm lowering the seroquel now down to 50-66mg and up to full doseage of risperdol. I may go higher on Risperdol. The dr. didn't give me much advice on the transition but I am experienced in switching things around. The knock out punch of seroquel at night really takes the anxiety edge off at night and I wake up more relaxed. I'm also taking 150mg of effexor xr.

> Thoughts?I know someone who has psychotic depression / bipolar mixed-states. When 200mg of Seroquel was added to ongoing treatment with Risperdal 3mg, she was a different person. Adding the Seroquel acted almost like an antidepressant and cleared up her thinking.
