I’m seeing my pdoc today and she’s probably going to try to get me to bump my risperidone up to 4 mg. I’m sane at 2 mg. 3 mg made me logy. I’m going to stand my ground even if I have to be crappy. I’m not really clicking with this new one like I did with my old one. I’m grumpy these days and I’m not above using it.

No need to take more meds if you can handle it on your current dose.

Why would she increase it if your current dose is working? It doesn’t make sense

I’ve thought about asking for the antidepressant Rexulti, if it is available where I live. I hope it will help me with my negative symptoms. Even if it is available I still have reservations. It will be one more pill I am dependent on. It will also cost a lot, until they throw away the patent on it.

She actually listened and said it made sense to get my asthma under control before we do anything to the risperidone. She wasn’t talking like she was 2 weeks ago like I needed to go up to 4 mg. She was fine with me staying at 2 mg when I explained everything to her.
