I was taking Zoloft, Edronax and Xanax and was still feeling depressed, anxious and plauged by intrusive, negative thoughts.... I brought some 1mg risperidone off of the internet from india and took 1mg (a low dose) at bedtime, and work up the enxt morning feeling a lot better. The only side effect was drowsiness for a couple of days. The effect has been maintained for 2 years now, and it would take a lot to get me to stop it.
I agree, they should be a last resort, but they can be damned usefull even in affective disorders that prove stuborn.
They need to be givin in the right dose to the right patient in the right circumstances, like any drug.
