Yeah, Lamictal is better for his antidepressive effect. My dose of Risperdal may not be sufficient to keep me stabilized, so that a thing I need to discust with my Pdoc.Thanks for all the infos and for having shared your experience with me.

Energy, depression, anxiety, sexuality, cognition, name it, i have had a TOTAL remission. Probably too well. At that time, (9 or 10 years ago?), i hadn't been yet diagnosed bipolar II. Then i felt into a very dark dysphoria (deep despair, anxiety, rage, insomnia), etc. Misery...
