In reply to possible interaction carbamazepine risperidone? » e503, posted by jane d on February 10, 2002, at 18:35:41
Today I gave ben 25 mg. zoloft in the a.m. and am going to give hiim 25 mg. tonight as opposed to all 50 mg. at might. Amazing,,,,he wasn't agitated much at all today!!!! What the heck is going on ? I thought zoloft only needed 1 a day dosing? He was still somewhat "active/manic", but he was definetly happier! I do have neurontin at home (ben was on it up until last year) and was thinking about adding that (mitch) or (Jane) was also thinking about the risperdol increase. Unfortunately, my doc is out of town until thursday. Also, Mitch, you are right, I am sure the risperdol during the day was causing akathasia. That's what the pdoc thouoght. So, I really hate to decrease ben's zoloft, but he is still somewhat manic. Increase risperdol or add neurontin???? I had suggested neurontin to my pdoc a few weeks ago, and he said something about ben becoming "disinhibited" on it? What is he talking about?
thanks,
elise
