In reply to NEED ADVICE!! Asking doc about Risperdal., posted by BRC on August 30, 2004, at 11:55:39
Hi....
For what it's worth...I have been using Risperdal for over a year, and it is just *amazing*. I take 2mg a day for my rapid-cycling BP and Depression.
The reason I take this amount, and it may be a tad expensive, is that I found some research that one good 2-3mg dose of Risperdal a day, along with other meds, really works well for dysphoria, aggitated depression. I have *not* found any of the other atypical AP's to come even close as knocking out a bad mood as I have with Risperdal.
Any lower dose seems to have not much, if little, effect.Best wishes!
Jay
