Gave Ben 50 mg. zoloft this a.m. and will give him 25 mg. tonight. He was really much better so far today. Seemed really happy - like his old self. So I guess whatever the reason is, he needs to take zoloft 2 times a day. I remember that we started to give him the zoloft all in the p.m. cuz he was anxious during the day and we wanted to see if giving him 1/2 of his risperdol in the a.m. instead of it all in the p.m. would help and when I gave it to him in the a.m. along with the zoloft, he was manic (akathasia, i am sure). So, we went back to giving him the risperidol all at night, but continued to give him the zoloft also at night. That's when the problems began. So, I guess the next thing would be , what would you do with some anxiety during the day? his teg level was 8.4 (1400 mg./day divided into 3 doses)and 1 mg. risperdol at night and 50 mg. zoloft a.m. and 25 mg. zoloft p.m. thank goodness we were able to figure out the zoloft part!!!! What would I do with out this board???????
