human
I need to speak with a psychiatrist . I am looking for a new medication. I have been on 37.5 mg of Risperdal consta. It caused terrible problems with anxiety and depression and insonmia. I was then prescibed 100mg of seroquel xr . It caused my face to swell and eye lids. I was diagnosed and bipolar affective disorder (manic depressive). what can I take that does not cause so many side effects. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello........... I am able to understand your apprehensions regarding psychotropic medication considering significant side-effects in your cases. Medication you are on Risperdal consta (Risperidone) and Seroquel (T.Quetiapine) are standard medication prescribed for psychotic disorders. Kindly report your side-effects with medication to your psychiatrist so that your treatment plan can be re-evaluated and a suitable drug regimen that you can tolerate can be precribed.
