I've been thinking this over.
I think I use therapy to the greatest extent I can to replace Risperdal. They have a similar effect on me. In fact my therapist sees it the other way, that he can be replaced by a pill.
But the truth is that while the insurance companies would probably prefer I pop a pill and be done with it, I'm well aware of the side effect profiles of the drugs that work best for me. Not only diabetes, but TD risk as well. So if it's at all possible, I'll schedule an extra session instead. A lot more expensive, but a lot safer.
But if he's not available... Well, I haven't been able to conquer what I truly believe is a biological tendency to these meltdowns. I have to do what I need to to function as well as possible.
