So when I first started risperdal I felt so good on it, happy, stable and didn't bother to tell everyone what I thought, less angry nd frustrated etc... stopped for fear of seiZures, I went back on the second time but didn't feel it like the first time and stopped it from so much anxiety side effects, so now this third time I know it helps to a point but nothing like the first or even the second time and I'm really bummed so I increased it 1/4 so far and now feel crappy again almost like my old self but not as bad. My friend says that is called a honeymoon phase and probably would of worn off soon anyways because that dose of .25 is just too small so any advice?

Why don't you try Lamictal?

this is a new development and i think i may ask the psych Dr. Monday about changing because i am just not feeling it anymore.
I know it is helping me with my moods and mostly anger and lashing out at people but i just cant find that sweetspot or honeymoon feeling as my friend said it is called.
I even upped my dose to 37.5 mgs to see how i would feel and i felt much better but then i thougth i dont feel that much better on just the .25 so last night i decided to just go back down to the .25 and dang i am feeling it today that i needed that .37 because today i am an ole crab apple again and that was just ONE night on the regular dose! Maybe i would adjust in a few days back down to my .25 dose???
also today i've had a ton of flipping brain zaps where i'm just sitting there and my head feels like it just a quick 360 and then slammed on the brakes lol dont know how else to describe it..
i dont even know what i am to expect with taking risprdal!

It seems your mood is somewhat all over the place. Lamictal would help with this.

I was wondering what your thoughts would be on Tripletal as a mood stabilizer? I made a post on here to see what users of it think about it but thought i'd ask you too...so any thoughts on Tripletal? I read several positive reviews on it but it seems the doses are so high compared to Risperdals little .25 mgs and others taking 1200 on Tripletal. I knopw I know that you cant compare numbers to numbers but it bothers me just the same..
