I'm glad to see this thread. It's very pertinent to my last week's experiences. My doctor raised my lithium dose while at the same time prescribing 1 mg risperdal and within a few days I was MANIC; not sleeping, cleaning, organizing, I spent $400-500 very quickly on home improvement items.
That was Sunday. Now it's wednesday and I've been sleeping soundly with the help of ativan and keeping up a hypomanic pace that my doctor wants to let be and see how it will settle eventually.
WHat's up with this?? I didn't know an antipsychotic would work on my bipolar. It's very very powerful, even at a low dose. I need to research this antipsychotic stuff.
