> for my anxiety i have found that paxil helps a lot. to complement Paxil, I am also on risperdal and gabitril. the risperdal, just a little dose (.25 to 1 mg) helps slow my thoughts down and makes me think more clearly (less impulsiveness). the gabitril also helps with anxiety, and for me, helps with mood swings too. the irratibility you mentioned could mean you are a little hypomanic, maybe not. Does it come and go in cyles and how often? If so, you need something to help even out your mood. It may sound like a lot, but i have found that a little
wow you find paxil helps more with anxiety than gabitril? ... i found paxil didn't do very much for me (something, but i definately required a benzo)
i'm curious to know why you chose risperdal over the other antipsychotics... i'm taking zyprexa myself ... i also have thoughts that could use slowing down.... i tend to think about doing 10 different things at once..
umm... to what extent do you find risperdal stabilizes your mood compared to gabitril? ... i know antipsychotics like zyprexa are supposed to be compared to lithium in terms of mood control
