After a month period, my pdoc (& I) decided Zoloft and Topomax wasn't the right combo for me. (Not to mention the worry I had from the potential awful side effects from Topomax...I was having extreme paranoia & hearing voices, etc. I think due to the Zoloft but not sure).
We've decided to put me back on Prozac and add Risperdal.
Here's the new rx:
20 mg Prozac (once a day, a.m.)
.50 mg Risperdal (once, right before bed)I would love to hear any thoughts about this med combo.
I've also read conflicting reports regarding Risperdal and side effects. One states it can cause "insomnia", the other states it is helpful in "inducing sleep".
One states it will ease "irritability", the other states it may "increase anxiety".My problem is depression (naturally) but I have a tendency to be moody as well (irritable, withdrawn), etc. But I also seem to get more irritable if my anxiety level is increased!!!!
What are your thoughts on any of this, please?
Thanks,
Robin
