D/R - Thanks for the tips.
By the time I take the Adderall in the morning, I would hope most of the Risperdal is out of my system. I take 2.5MG Adderall (Baby dose really!) and it "peps" me up, improves confidence, with many beneficial effects.
We tried Abilify on 1mg before and that gave me EPS as well. My EPS symptom is "tense" tongue, stiff jaw and my lips hurt a bit. After the EPS from Ability (Came on immediatly) we tried Risperdal which did the same exact thing. I am taking Cogentin as well because, sometimes, during the 1st week or two, the AP's give EPS but then it goes away with time. The problem is this Cogentin is making me feel very "blurry" and slightly depressed/sick. But, without it, I cannot tolerate Risperdal.
The SSRI's send me into panic attacks/crying spells. We haven't gone the mood stablizer route either. I tried Nardil in the past but not Parnate.
Struggling right now because I was on Paxil for 3 years and it stopped working and, now, nothing seems to help. I've "seen the light" so to speak and don't even want to see it again. Just want to feel relatively normal and right now have been having bad obsessions, etc.
