> hey! Unfortunately, lots of shrinks are spraying the new atypical antipsychotics on people left and right--they're designed for schizophrenia, but people are being RX'd them for anxiety, depression, agitation, and personality disorders.

The p-doc I usually see told me that anti-psychotics were not for me. She's not really into meds. She only gave me Celexa and 5 doses of propranolol to try out for anxiety. She mostly gave psychotherapy.

I suppose this new p-doc I'm seeing doesn't know what to make of me. I think I may have some personality disorders.

>Its pretty ridiculous. Anyway, I'd say you should probably cut it in half and take the .25mgs tab for a couple days; if you want, you can cut it further (into .125mgs)

I stopped cold turkey last night and I couldn't sleep! I found out that the stuffy nose I kept getting at night *is* a side effect of Risperdal. I didn't get a stuffy nose last night...but I also didn't sleep! I noticed more twitches. Since SSRIs give me twitches, I'm thinking maybe I'm extra susceptible to them or something.

Thanks Med_Empowered
