Hi adamie,
I've been on Risperdal (ranging from .50-1.00 mg per day)for almost 3 months now. I take it as an adjunct to my 20 mg. of daily Prozac. Risperdal is used as a mood stabilizer, not for depression.
What it does for me is even my moodiness out.
Being Bi-Polar II with irritablity, depression, OCD or ruminating thoughts...it helps with the majority of those symptoms. The Prozac helps with the depression and gives me an energy boost.
When I only take an AD, I still have the roller coaster moods and tend to become a bit manic so the Risperdal helps keep me a bit calmer.
This is the way Risperdal helps me :-)
Best Wishes,
Robin
