Risperidal is the same nonsense as zyprexa. Same potential risks.
I'd find a new psychiatrist, Atypical antipsychotics should *not* be a first line treatement for bipolar disorder.
Sure, she's seen nothing but sucess, the medication hasn't been out long enough for the real problems to emerge.
I agree with Med Empowered, lithium or a different mood stabilizer would have been a better choice.
Have you tried omega-3 fatty acids? They can help a number of psychiatric disorders inc. bipolar.
