anti psycotics Risperidone

[joy]

Does anyone know how these work. I have been put on them as benzos dont work for me. However benzos are to be used generally on as and when basis and give relief then and there, well not for me of course, whereas Risperidone has to be taken everyday so does that mean it builds up in the system and the anxiety lowers over several days.
they certainly dont work instantly!!!!

Any knowledge would be great

I'd say you are....I know it sounds a bit extreme..but as ECT ever been mentioned? My friend's aunt was a pysh nurse and said that this therapy gets really bad press but she saw people turn around on it.

Anyway i'm here if you need chat/rant

AS far as i know ECT is for really bad depression which i havent got just anxiety. They only do it if you are in hospital as well wouldnt fancy it anyway THanks for the thought tho

Hi Joy

Getting a little bit better each day now, had a good night's sleep, even though i had a full on panic attack in the middle of the night...got back to sleep ok.

Sorry to hear your anx is high today...do you find the mornings to be worse? I hate the mornings..things usually improve as the day progresses.

Did you ever notice a hormonal link to the anx? i'm looking into that myself at the moment

Love and Hugs

past the hormonal stage thank god altho i understand there could be a link for you younger ones. Yes mornings are defo worse wake up with extreme anx every morning I wonder why that is but its horrible]]
glad you are improving


love joy
