Hi Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I moved so I had no internet connection for a while. Anyway, regarding whether Vitex can be taken alone rather than along with Risperdal, I don't know and I don't want to try. I have come off every other drug (klonopin, lexapro, etc.) and the only thing I am on now is Risperdal. Risperdal was so extremely effective for my feelings of anger and frustration, along with social paranoia that I am somewhat terrified to come off of it. I will say, however, that the Risperdal was not 100% effective for the socially paranoid thoughts, but the Vitex certainly added to the effect.
Also, Vitex lowers, not raises, prolactin at higher dosages.
Hope that helps.
