Well, first I gotta ask about meds. (I know..this is not the meds board...but..) I think you mentioned you where on Risperdal? Well, I've been on it for over a year, and I find that I don't think it really has any effect anymore. And I am on 3mg's! I used to be zonked out and asleep just by 1mg.
Have you looked at the newer mood stabilizers? i.e. Lamictal, etc. Don't let this go on too long...you don't deserve it. There are some good meds that can help.
Take care,
Jay
