Dinah, that is such a helpful post to me in many ways. More than I feel up to saying.
I'm running your idea past my pdoc. It's emotional intensity. That's bingo. That's it. I'm neurotic as heck, but not insane (except on Lyrica?). But the feelings can become so much larger than normal. Emotional dysregulation.
It's that reset, that someone please hit me on the head I have to sleep this off it's unendurable thing that I desperately need to know is in the med chest.
I read somewhere that extreme dysphoria was, in this person's theory, a form of an attenuated seizure. I suppose that can be easily shot down, but it gave me pause. I found her site by Googling risperdal as per needed. She used risperdal and prozac to treat borderline
patients whom others had given up on wit decent results. Much of what she said resonated in an off-beat way with your description of your experience of risperdal.Bone deep calm. I like reading those
words.I do like being off of AD's right now. I feel clearer. More lucid. I'm not saying they are out of the picture, but I'm wondering about the further sensitization years of AD use have done to ME (and
myself only). However, then there are those same pesky feelings that "come sweeping down the plains...." (Musical: Oklahoma!)Thanks so much for the sensible advice. Whether it works for me, ? It was cheering to read. Thank you.
Warmly,
