Im starting to have Paranoid/Delusional type thinking.
Really frightening and scary thoughts.
I’m on 3mg of Risperidone and 1000mg of Depakote and I am barely tolerating the sedating effects.
I cannot raise the dose further, so now I really don’t know what can be done?!?
I really need to call my psychiatrist because I can’t continue to have these kind of thoughts.
And I don’t want to end up in the Hospital again.
I’m afraid that I will get worse!
I would ring your nurse and tell her
yeah please call your doc and maybe take something to relax?
Sometimes even antipsychotics don’t do the total job for anxiety.
My pdoc has added Lorazepam over the years at bad times
@Wave it is a good thing that you got insight into your paranoid/delusional thinking which means that you can ask for help in time. I would get in touch with my psychiatrist as soon as possible if I were you. I do not know what the max dose of Risperidone is but maybe if you up it by a little bit it could take away the symptoms.
I know how it feels like to be so heavily sedated. I’m on 25 mg of Abilify and sometimes I have to go up to 30mg if I am symptomatic. 30mg really knocks me out. I’m sorry that you’re not doing ok. I hope that you will be fine again real soon.
which time do u take it day time or at night …!!!
Glad you recognize it - now act quickly. Call your doctor or nurse. This spun far out of control for you very quickly last time, so act on it while you still have insight.
Good luck, @Wave, my fingers are crossed for you.
Thank you Guys.
I guess I’ve been feeling a bit down and my thoughts have been more delusional, but I still have insight.
My anxiety is not bad, so it’s not that.
@anon18305065 I will call my psychiatrist if it continues.
I won’t wait long.
Day and night @far_cry0 …
Aps at night mood stabilizer at day right …!!
Both APs and Mood Stabilizer divided doses.
Morning and Night
hope u feel well soon wave …!! thanks …!!! i pretty hate my meds …!!!
How many meds have you tried? Maybe you just haven’t found the right combo yet! Don’t lose hope 
I’ve tried lots of different meds.
Maybe the Paranoia has something to do with the cutting back of Klonopin?
I am currently tapering down from my Klonopin dose.
Could be. Ativan stopped my paranoia attacks from happening at night so you could be becoming aware of it again.
For Bipolar 1 to 2mgs is the recommended dose. For SZ 3 to 8mgs is recommended if I remember correctly. I weigh about 113 and I’m on 3mgs of Risperidone with an optional .5mgs. Your pdoc should be able to prescribe more to you. I would ask about it.
Thanks @metime, maybe I will ask my pdoc for a minor increase.
I’m feeling a bit better this evening.
I had a rough morning though.
Try adding a second antipsychotic
Yeah I was thinking about it.
I think that I had delusional thoughts because I was Mood cycling this morning.
