Okay, so I'm not on any meds at all right now (pdoc approved) and haven't been for 2 years. As of last Thursday I've been having a dysphoric manic episode, the first one in at least 5 years. Normally I get mildly hypomanic. So, what with this ridiculous amount of energy, ruminating, sort of obessive thoughts (smoking a specific number of drags from a cigarette), irritability, and extreme anguish - I have no clue what to do. I've called the necessary people but I can't get an appt soon enough. I don't need to go inpatient yet, so that's out for now.
The ruminations are the worst. I can't STOP thinking about this one specific person, and it's giving me extreme anxiety.
So can I take a .5mg risperdal? Will it do anything? I took a xanax last night and it basically knocked me out to the point where I could finally sleep, but it's not the best solution and I only have 2mg left anyways.
