Hi Dinah
Atypical APs certainly work well for some people, both those who are psychotic and those who aren't.
>And I literally begged my pdoc for something equivilant to Thorazine when similar stressors entered my life recently.
If you lived in England you would probably have got more Thorazine, although it (chlorpromazine) is called Largactil here. Low doses are still used as a short term treatment for severe anxiety.
>I know the risks, but if I'm feeling bad enough I just want the relief.
You take a very low dose of Risperdal only when required, yes? I don't think the risks of such as strategy are great. In fact, I think they are probably very small.
Regards
Ed
