Dinah, I am finding this a great link. How you ever found it, well thank you for sharing it. I am still reading it (it's suppertime around here), but I am inclined to say it would make a great sticky or whatever those things are called to this site.
The risperdone is tranquilizing. I read something I could almost understand about it potentiating the effects of benzodiazepines, as you had speculated earlier. This seemed a variant particular to, but not exclusively so, to
risperdone. I lost the link :-/. Unlike Abilify, there is nothing activating *for me* about it.My observations to date are increased crankiness and a deeper dip into my depressive/dysphoric state. The dip is not
all day. The crankiness, however, is. That could be explained in other ways such as I feel enough energy to be cranky, because I do have situations to be legitimately displeased with. GI issues seem more pronounced, but I seem to get *that* reaction to a slew of meds :-/. Again, in ten days time, it is difficult for me to be sure.Not being benzodiazepine naive, and being maintained on it for so long has difficulties, and one is feeling uncomfortable with another form of tranquilization.
I so appreciate your interest and the exchange of ideas on this. It has been enormously helpful, especially in kick starting and supporting a more observant stance on this. Medication trials can be so subjective, and I can become reactive to medications issues in general.
Thank you. Hope you are feeling well!
I dig a pony.
