The continuing saga: My new p-doc is really good, and has been taking a conservative approach to my meds (which I like).
He first upped my Wellbutrin from 200 to 300, all to be taken in the morning.
Effexor 150 taken about 2-4 hours after Wellbu (Effexor is very sedating to me).
At bedtime, Effexor 150, Klonopin 1 mg.
Yesterday, after doing the med combo above for over a year with my other pdoc and limited success, he added .5 mg of Risperdal at bedtime. He said about 1% chance of Tardive. Plus, he said it sometimes takes a while before people notice anything from Risp.
So, we will see how this goes. He said he runs about 50-50 with patients having good response to Risp.
I'll keep ya'll updated as the saga continues.
