The first time I took an AAP, it was risperdal because I was having anxiety attacks. After taking it, I felt OK. Not high or zoned out, just OK. I don't think I ever had felt OK before. I was always depressed, moody, tense, elated - something. I remember thinking, maybe this is how normal people feel.

I had the same problem with risperidone and eventually discontinued its use.
There are two APs I've been doing well on, namely sulpiride and flupentixol which I've been taking for close to nine years now. They are both a bit stimulating at low doses without the blunting effect of most other APs. Since I've noticed one of your meds is the stimulating Nuvigil, it might not be a good idea to combine it with any of the APs I've mentioned.

Take care,
