Maybe i'm wrong to say this, but, if you find that the Risperdal is not helping you at all (or is only making things worse) then just tell your doc and insist on getting off the stuff (i do hope you find it helpful though). Also i think a low dose would be more likely to help, like .25 or .5 mg max. maybe.
i've been trying alternative treatments for years, and, though i've rarely used high doses of anything (due to monetary limits and what not), i must say that i have never obtained much benefit at all. Ginseng and Rhodiola can be decent mood-brighteners at times. i duno. Yeah nothings really helped. sorry. This post is a waste. Sorry.
Oh, well, not alternative but if you're looking for a good med MAOIs are often quite effective for severe depression. Nardil would probably be best (rather than Parnate) since you have alot of fear and maybe schizotypality.
Sincerly wishing you hope and help.. Good luck.
