yea...i've read things of risperdal in calming people here on babble, one person I went to an NA meeting told me they where avoiding benzos and put her on thorazine....sounds a bit harsh on the doctor part, but she said it calms and blocks negative and bad moods with irrtibility....she could go to the store without flipping out, she was a previous methamphetamine user, i don't know if it had residue effects, it alters the dopamine flow after...
i take zyprexa and I can't say how much it calms me down, vary similar to klonopin yet without the benzo effect, still calming effect.
It's the dopamine lowering effect that has a smooth calming effect....same with benzos but they use GABA to lower the effect of dopamine.
Have you tried to increase the dose to like 2-3mg? it may help but if its working for you now then stay at that...:)
