post traumatic stress disorde
"I switched from seroquel to risperidone 6 months ago. I had gained 100lbs over 10 years on seroquel, and have lost about 20lbs so far since switching.
My constant rage and aggression are gone, it's great not to be furiously psychotic all day.
On the minus side I can't get enough sleep, I have no motivation or energy and depression has spiked. I may try an antidepressant along with risperidone and a smaller dose (I started on 2mg, just cut to 1.5 and would like to get to 1mg or under)
I tried going from 2mg to 1mg previously on my own and it was hell - massive anxiety and depression."
