I agree with Blueberry. Psychiatric meds can cause all kinds of side effects. Sometimes antidepressants make depression worse, sometimes antipsychotics make people psychotic, so on and so forth. So...if I were you, I'd just toss out the Risperdal and tell your doc that you didn't like it at all, and now you want something else. Why put yourself through a couple weeks of agony to see if the side effects *might* dissipate and the med *might* help you? And...why are you taking antipsychotics anyway? It seems like you'd do pretty well just upping your Klonopin (.75mgs/day is a TINY dose; 1-3mgs is more likely to help). Good luck!
