Isn't Risperdal only approved for schizophrenia and bipolar mania?
I don't have either, at least I hope not, but I'm taking 1mg Risperdal right now and I've discovered it really helps me. What does that mean?
It really helps my borderline personality and anxiety. I always used to think my problems were wholly psychological, but it is surprising that meds help me so much.
I hope I can still overcome my problems with therapy and go med free.
My pdoc tried reducing my Risperdal when I was better, but I went downhill fast, back to old behaviours. My pdoc thought I was ready because I had learned new coping skills.
It just sucks to think I rely on a med right now.
Do I have borderline personality or what? Isn't that overcome through therapy? (No answer needed, I'm just asking questions out loud to myself.)
