In reply to Purpose of low-dose Risperdal, posted by Chuck P on September 26, 2003, at 22:56:16
Yes, my Pdoc put me on low dose Resperdal maybe five years ago. I was taking Prozac, Concerta and Pindolol at that time and searching for something anything that might make my life better than merely bearable.
The Resperdal seemed to help. I thought it accounted for my gaining weight though. Which can be depressing in itself. I had to quit the Prozac cocktail eventually after years of it working pretty well but not great. I got off of it for three reasons, 1: Because they started suggesting fith drug canidates for my cocktail, that didn't sit right with me. 2: It wasn't working as well as I could imagine somethingelse working. 3: I started to realized it had been eroding my sexuallity for quite some time.
Now I take Lamictal only and I find it the best med I've taken to date. That is no guaranty of course that you would get any benefit from it. I'm just telling you where I'm at now.
