Has anyone tried risperidone for GAD and severe panic disorder? My p/doctor prescribed it for me earlier this week and i start 0.5mg per night tonight with an increase in about 2 weeks time. Zyprexa is the obvious choice here i know, but i experienced fairly intolerable side effects with the drug so my doc has opted this time for risperidone.
I'm also taking 20mg Lexapro, 600mg lithium, 40mg buspirone, and 600mg pregabalin. My doc is withdrawing the buspirone and I'm also asking him to stop the pregabalin, as i find it fairly ineffective.
So, any success with risperidone when taking along with anti-depressants?
Thanks!
