Hi All -
I am a 27 year old male and used to have textbook social phobia and fear of being around a lot of people. The past year, it turned into more OCD and obsessive thoughts (What if I go crazy? What if I harm someone? etc.). We tried all SSRI's which made anxiety worse and the doctor put me on low dose Risperdal (.25mg at night).
I am wondering if anyone has had experience with antipsychotics and, if so, can you use stimulants with them? Surprisingly, Adderall upps my confidence in social settings.
Due to just starting Risperdal, I developed a tense tongue (EPS symptoms) and am taking .25 Cogentin to help with this for first few weeks as well.
Thanks,
Cameron
