This is how I am perceiving others to be - my paranoia is getting worse.
Everyone is out to get me and I’m having a hard time trusting others, especially strangers.
I stopped mood cycling a week ago but I’ve become more paranoid - I think I need to go on a new antipsychotic because I won’t be able to go much higher on the Risperdal because of different side effects.
I see my pdoc next week.
Good luck Wave! Get well soon!
Thanks @Minnii! 
Yeah, that doesn’t sound ideal. At least you still have insight which is good. Is it possible that was caused by the stress of your recent mood cycling? Stress makes me ten times worse.
Good luck with whatever decision you make with your psychiatrist on meds.
I think that my paranoia was triggered by cable TV workers coming inside my house on 2 separate occasions to fix the cable.
One worker is very pushy, he gave me the creeps.
But I’ve been feeling more paranoid even before they came over.
I had a few days of paranoia caused by a rude tax driver , so I understand how that can happen. It might pass though. At least mine did.
Hopefully it will get better but I feel as if I should be on a higher dose - 2.25 mg of Risperdal is not cutting it.
It’s all a balancing act. But at the end of the day it’s getting away with the lowest dose that works. Maximum dose is 6mg, so you have plenty of scope.
I can’t go to 3mg of Risperdal or higher.
My heart will start racing and I will get intense Akathisia.
This is why I’m thinking that it’s time for me to switch over to a safer AP - my pdoc agrees.
good luck @Wave
Thanks @anon84763962
All the best @Wave - hope you find a better med. paranoia sucks
Thanks @Jimbob - it certainly does suck
