The Wonderful World of Risperidone

Posted by jono_in_adelaide on November 21, 2012, at 20:54:00

For the last 8 weeks or so I have been suffering greatly increased anxiety for no apparent reason. it was debilitating and dragging my performance at work down. i had increased my Xanax from 1mg twice a day to three times a day, but was still very anxious, tense and was developing avoidant beheivious related to anticipatory anxiety about panic attacks (again)

On Sunday night I decided to increase my risperidone from 1mg at bedtime to 1.5mg at bedtime, on Monday morning I work up noticabley calmer, and with some willpower I was able to keep my Xanax intake at 2 tablets that day.

Since then the effects have gotten even better, I have only been taking 2 Xanax a day, and am feeling calmer and better able to cope that I was at 3mg of Xanax a day.

Very glad i tried that little experiment!

Risperidone in low doses might be a good add on for treatment resistant anxiety disorders when antidepressants and benzos arnt getting you where you need to be
