In reply to risperidone and lithium, posted by Deb200 on April 2, 2005, at 14:55:57
> I am in a very agitated state..unable to focus, excessive worry, obsessive thoughts...my doc just put me on risperidone, 2 mg 2x per day. I also just started lithium for bipolar. He thinks lithium will negate the need for the risperidone once it kicks in. What is anyone's experience regarding risperidone for anxiety? And/or lithium...how long did one need to take it before it started having an effect...thanks
>Risperidone is a very good drug for mixed-states with bad anxiety. You may find the risperidone works better than the lithium, so make sure you keep track and tell your doctor.
Good luck..
