Well, I will discuss discontinuing risperdone tomorrow with the pdoc. I think I feel better at a reduced dose of .0625 per night.
Will discuss how long I should really trial it for, since I don't want to bounce around.
I am disappointed right now, but found a therapist. I also think I did pretty good stepping out of my comfort zone to try a new med. I'm not booting it out yet. But ten days hasn't
improved what I most sought to improve.I have read that risperdone is especially helpful for curbing aggression, the sort that can manifest as SI or outbursts. If anything, I internalize. So aggression is there, but not expressed. Just wondering if the mood stabilizer route is the way to go.
Who knows? Until tomorrow....
I dig a pony.
