You must have been doing 750 3 times a day. Depakote along usually is not good enough-it needs to be used in conjunction with something else to really recieve benefits. I understand why you wouldn't want to try it.
I risperdal is working and continues to work, that is great.
Lamictal impairs cognition in many people. It caused real functional impairment for me in several ways, including cognition. I was very slowed and could not focus while on Lamictal. My brain felt like it was a car trying to make it's way down a cobblestone street. It sucked for me. I also experienced this weird lack of wanting to or being able to speak properly early in treatment. Drugs that do these things simply freak me out. Lamictal works for many, but it's potentially very invasive IMO.
Glad to here your finding relief with risperdal. My psychiatrist says it's a good one. She also does not believe there is much evidence for neurodegeneration with AP's. She's going to introduce me to an unbiased peer reviewed journal that she believes is a great resource for finding the truth about psychiatric drugs. I wish I had asked her what her thoughts on Lamictal were.
