I need a new drug! I am currently on 60 mg Celexa for depression, 2 mg risperdal for OCD and anxiety and 30 mg adderall once a day for ADD. I need to get off the risperdal- I've gained 60 pounds, had to start taking an ADD med because I can't concentrate on risperdal and am smoking like crazy. The problem is risperdal has ben great for my anxiety and OCD- it has virtually eliminated them but the effects on my physical health have been horrible. The Celexa alone doesn't cut it on my mood, anxiety or obsessive thoughts but I can't go on like this any longer. I need something that will work on my mood, OCD and anxiety but not cause me to gain all this weight and smoke this much. Seroquel? Abilify? klonopin? a mood stabilizer? I need help! I should also mention that I am med-sensitive and had a horrible experience trying to switch to geodon. Thanks, babs
