> Risperdal is listed under mood stabilizer for bipolar treatment and cyclothymia which is what I could have and is close to bipolar. That is what I read anyways but listed first was lithium which I tried years ago and it messed up my already messed up thyroid...It says it gets worse as you get older, how lovely. I do know the risperdal seemed to stabilizer my mood and gave me energy and made me feel more calm and interactive with other's and I didn't try to control everybody which is a very difficult and tiring job LoL
Risperdal might be needed in a higher dose to work as a true mood stabilizer. Ed UK might be more knowledgable.
Any chance anxiety is BPII related?
Your husband's observation and opinion is valuable. While I think less can be more, consider not ruling out lamictal and risperdal in tandem.
