Meds affecting therapy

Posted by Dinah on December 17, 2009, at 19:14:35

I started taking Risperdal for anxiety with some stuff going on with my mother late last month, and have been keeping it up because I seem to be left with some major anxiety.

I think it's getting in the way of therapy. Of therapy and anything else related to emotions.

It feels so strange to go to therapy and not really remember who my therapist is to me. Intellectually I remember, but viscerally it's like he's miles and miles away.

I can't help but wonder what it is that Risperdal does that so cuts me off from my emotional self. And what it says about my emotional self that it's cut off by Risperdal.

And to what extent it's worth it.
