What is your DX?
Well, I hope you are taking the Prozac in the morning and the Nortrip at night. If you increased the Risperdal then maybe you wouldn't need the Topomax. I found Topomax to be quite activating ... especially since I went into a state of psychosis.
What is the Ritalin for? If needed for what?

But, it seems I tolerate high doses of meds...I just don't think he wants to be responible if anything happens. ****Plus****, how many doc's let you make up a formula like that?

I have been tested for diabetes...and no I don't have it...and don't WANT to have it thanks to Zyprexa. The 1mg of Risperdone is *nothing*. I feel I should be on 4-5mg's.
