In reply to risperdal, atypical APs without the fatigue sleep, posted by iforgotmypassword on May 28, 2005, at 15:44:30
> my doctors suggested for me to take an atypical antipsychotic and they have suggested on more than one occassion, does anyone think that these actually help fight depression/fogginess/amotivation anyways? if they do, i really need for them not to have the horrible weakness and fatigue side effects i keep having every time i try to start them. is there any way to avoid these side effects? i am favouring risperdal, (it is the least sedating right? what dose would be best?
Are you on an antidepressant? I was on Prozac, and we added Risperdal which actually made me more depressed, foggy and amotivated. If it didn't help with the Prozac, I'd hate to try it alone. Actually they went and put me on it again at some point, in addition to Depakote and Strattera this time...my reaction was even worse.
