So your on
Prozac
Risperdal
Wellbutrin.....the first thing i would do is get off the risperdal and try a mood-stabalizer instead, you dont really want to use anti-psychotics unless you need to go there.
I also think you should stay on the prozac for a while, at least until you are stabalized and ready to switch it up. PLus you still havnt been on it that long right? It can still become more effective.
now the wellbutrin has a definate tendancy to raise Blood pressure and Anxiety. id gave me considerably more anxiety and i got chest pains because of my heart rate. now most mood-stabalizers/anti-psychotics will sedate you at some level, so thats where the Dexadrin/Adderal comes in. Adderal is much better tolerated than rittalin and usualy more effective. It also has a considerably less chance of giving you anxiety.
so the combo should be
Prozac/Mood-stabalizer(Lithium, Depakote...ect./D-Anphetimine
this combo should get to work right away, which is needed
so good luck
peace J
