> Risperidone might help you. I hope so. However, recent studies report that this drug is ineffective in the treatment of PTSD. It may be that your doctor has had success with it. The good thing is that if it doesn't work, chances are that you won't be taking it beyond two weeks.

Possible Benefits. Useful for panic disorder, OCD, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, PTSD, as well as depression. In one study, using between 45 mg to 90 mg per day, phenelzine produced significant panic symptom reduction in more than 75% of patients. complete control of the panic attacks usually takes 4 to 6 weeks of treatment. Current research also suggests it can be beneficial for social phobia.
