james here.....I would agree that staying on something that does not work for more that 2 months is insane. Sorry you had to go thru that. I am not saying that some may have quick resonce but years of treating patients indicates for most 6-8 weeks is the norm.
Do keep in mind Risperdal is a different class and should work quickly. Given that some only get help from 1 of 2 AD's and the rest don't work or cannot be tolerated,if you find an AD that you tolerate, give it a good trial.James
