hi and welcome.
i was only on lamictal for about 3-4 days but didn't have any bad side effects. the risperdal i was on for about a month but it really didn't do anything for me.
i personally like the atypical antipsychotics. they've really done some improvements and less side effects than old ones.
even though i had major weight gain on zyprexa it was life saving...literally.

are you on any benzo for anxiety or agitation? this could help in mean time before you start risperdal.

the only warning i have is to really look out for any rash...lamictal you can get stephen-johnson syndrome...severe...
so drink lots of water and look out for rash.

good luck...(you'll be fine) just keep alert.

b2c.
