Did you also combine the Risperdal with the SSRI? Some people get rave results with such a combo, although it can boost prolactin levels through the roof..
Current meds: 10mg melitracene + 0.5mg flupentixol; sertraline 100mg; amitriptyline 25mg; gabapentin (Neurontin) 300mg; melatonin 0.3mg. PRN: diazepam (Valium) 2.5-5mg.
