thank you very much for your concern. i keep thinking the benzos will chill me out but they don't. (i do think they help some though. i'm keeping it together at work bc of valium i think.)
i am on lithium 600 mg (just increased from 300) and lamictal 200 mg. i am on risperdal 1 mg which is an antypsychotic -- why isn't it working?
i'm also on wellbutrin 450 mg. normally i'm much more likely to have a depressed episode but that is NOT what this is. i almost miss being depressed when i could enjoy lying around all night just watching tv and going to sleep early.
have i mentioned i've lost 6 pounds in a week? on Risperdal?? Bizarre.
