> > I have been on risperidone for 3 months, and in the past month, I have literally had "meltdowns", in the middle of the night. I can FEEL it...like something is misfiring or not working right. To top it off, I have a neighbour who constantly asks for and takes my meds!! I am a nice guy, and I have a terror of saying "no".

> Sure. Well, I can see why they might bc they cause a real sense of disassociation in me. This feels really 'wrong' or off, and when I have panic attacks, they are usually triggered by a feeling of alienation. Just my personal observations, though. AP's are not my friend.

> And wow, the cheek of your neighbor asking for drugs!I get the same, actually...disassociation, a feeling of 'not being connected'..you described it perfectly! My panic lays in that feeling. Tegretol SEEMS to really be the thing for me...it's like a benzo, without all of the side effects. AP's have just brought me so much grief, not in taking them as needed, but when I take them consistently. I seem to be a strong GABBA responding person, and Tegretol works strongly on GABBA, and gives a little bit of a serotonin boost as well. It doesn't seem as 'heavy' as Depakote/Epival/Divalproex.
And yes, I am setting some heavy boundaries for said 'friend'. :)
