Dinah,
I'm worried to hear that you feel you're barely contained below a veneer of risperdal calm. I *know* that feeling (although I don't take risperdal) -- I get it sometimes too -- it feels like I'm floaing on the thin scum that forms on top of heated milk, and if I move too much, I'll fall through.But I really do think that you need to try something different. If you can't use your old T b/c he's inaccessible right now (and you "fired" him, so to speak), you need SOMETHING to fill that void. I don't know if it's going to be exercise, a new T, a new diet, more fun with friends, or all of the above. But I really think you need to figure out LIFE-y things to do -- inaddition to the meds -- that can help you manage the calm.
Again, I'm sorry if that sounds very basic and/or lame, becuase I don't mean it to be. I really do believe exercise helps a ton, though.
good luck to you!
