Whoops, I meant .125mg of Risperdal. I am incredibly sensitive to all the psychotropic meds I've ever tried. There are a small percentage of people that respond to subtherapeutic doses of meds, just like some respond to incredibly high doses of meds. I've tried 10,15,20mg of Lexapro a few weeks at a time and only ended up severely agitated and anxious. SSRIs in high amounts do not work for me. 2.5 of Lex seems to somewhat stabilize me. I do appreciate your response though!
