I really don’t want to go back up on the Risperdal

I know I need a bit of a medication adjustment but I am very reluctant to go back up to my old dose of 4mg (Risperdal)
Today I’m not in a sour mood, no irritability whatsoever
I’m going to ask her if I could have my Abilify dose raised from 2mg to 5mg or even 4mg.
Risperdal is a heavy hitting AP and it negatively affects my libido and cognition
I’ll ask to remain at 3mg and maybe with the Abilify adjustment this will be better for me.
I see her soon

It’s good you are able to communicate like this with your pdoc wave. See what they say… or maybe you were just having an off day or two… ?

Have you ever thought about trying injections like Invega Sustenna? That might work better for you.

Yeah I think it’s related to my moods @anon25873142 but I don’t know if it’s mixed states.

No @anon21675834
I’m not considering injections
Thanks
