It was stupid of me to post the following thread. Let me explain
Risperidone. Thumbs down. Started crying
I made a recent discovery. My anxiety is induced by clozapine due to anti-serotonin properties which only responded to high dose benzo(clobazam 20mg). So my crying last time has nothing to do with Risperidone, don’t let my old thread stop you from trying risperidone. My underlying anxiety was caused by clozapine which caused crying after taking risperidone 0.5mg last time.
So what I did this time is I increased my benzo clobazam to 20mg, from 5mg. After increasing my benzo, I tried risperidone 0.5mg again and this time I did not had anxiety attack, no crying etc. I was able to tolerate risperidone this time. Pdoc told me to slowly increase it to 2mg. There are wide variety of drugs which I took and cried on it due to underlying anxiety which I was not aware of. Now due to my benzo, I can tolerate any med i want except stimulants. Slowly decreasing my clozapine dose, will also help my anxiety/crying. After decreasing clozapine, I might be able to reduce my benzo as well
Its been 2 days on risperidone 0.5mg, all i feel right now is bit tiredness and sleepy.
