Hi all, I started a low dose of Risperdal about 6 days ago, 0.5mg/day to augment my antidepressant. I'm on paxil, so my pdoc wanted to keep my dose nice and low due to the med interactions between the two. At any rate, since starting my sleep has improved greatly as I was previously unable to sleep through the night. Last night I slept 8 hours straight!
However, I have been feeling kind of spaced out, and foggy headed. Also, it seems that at night I feel anxious, as if the med isn't working as well at night (I'm taking for treatment resistant depression/anxiety). My mood isn't terrible but I'm not necessarily happy if that makes sense. I also feel a little groggy in the mornings.
Is this a normal reaction? Will it pass? If so, when can I expect a return of my feelings/emotions? Also, will the grogginess dissipate?
Thanks all!
