Medication seems to not be working as well as it was a month ago

I’m beginning to relive experiences of things I believe and experience and it’s concerning me.
I wish I could get into a pdoc soon so I can raise the dosage on it, the med does protect me from evil voices usually but I hear scattered and short lived ones saying random things?
There’s a lot more going on but it’s gradually returning.

Are you on a theraputic dose?

I think so? Is .5 mg of Risperidone therapeutic dosage?

Are you saying 0.5mg or 5.0mg ?

0.5 mg, I should’ve cleared that up first.

.5 mg is very low

Yeah, they started me out on it and I think it needs to be upped, I don’t feel like I’m safe from my own brain now a days, once again.

According to this

Its not a theraputic dose. Talk to your doctor.

Oh thank you for the link and suggestion.
I’ve informed my therapist I’ve been having troubles so maybe she’ll set me up with a doctor soon.

Lowest I’ve been on is .25 mg and highest is 6 mg. From experience, I usually need to take at least 2 mg. Three mg seems to do the trick but the side effects seem to be weight gain and castration lol.

Maybe that’d work for me as well, or so I can hope that’s the case.
Haha, fair enough, I guess pros outweigh cons of the meds anyways, I’m not a very sexual person so it’s all good on my behalf.

Talk to your dr could be good idea.

Hope you feel better soon.
