I was recently dx'd Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified. Now I list my dx's leading up to this, all taking place within 7 years of medications and therapy and 5 different psychiatrists.
GAD, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Depression(treatment resistant), ADHD. Those are only what were told to me, I don't have notes taken by any doctors.
So back to the current day. When the dx of PDD-NOS was recently made, the pdoc added Risperdal .5mg twice a day 'as needed for agitation' to my combo of 30mg's Dexedrine, 2mg Klonopin.
I have an appt. with the pdoc on Friday and need to make the most of it. For those in the know: what meds are likely to help the symptoms of PDD-NOS? So far, after a month on the Risperdal, I've noticed not a whole lot but some decrease of agitation and slightly increased patience with people. I still have the TRD depression and am not feeling pleasure. I'm not afraid to go to extremes... Just as a note, I have tried enough SSRI's to know they don't help me and also TCA's. They only seem to agitate.
Thx in advance!
