MrBrice

I've gone through that exactly. been dx w/ skits
first put on 3mg risp like u, 2 weeks later, felt depressed n didn't enjoy anything, felt worthless and wanting to die. a month later was put on an AD zoloft but didn't help much. stupid pdoc's just kept me on the risp. they thought that was best for me despite my depression and anhedonia. they just kept raising the AD dose thinking it would kick in. I tell u now get off the risp and go w/ abilify. i only went on abilify a year and a half after using risp. what a horrible time i tell you. whats your dx anyway? risp is good for short term since its a very strong AP. although for some even at a high dose it doesn't bring on depressive symptoms. so everyone's different but many will share the same symptoms. If you're feeling down now w/ the risp go off of it and go w/ abilify. But even some have reported some ill side effects from abilify. just change over and get used to it. the side effects do subside but also depends on ur dosage level. I'm on 5mg abilify which is kinda low so i don't feel much side effects. feel free to ask any ?'s
