> The description about your moods sounds like a mild rapid bipolar syndrome.
i've been told that by my girlfriend, a psych expert of sorts; my doc, who specializes in clinical psychopharmacolgy, is just not sure as of yet.
i know i fit some of the bp criteria, but, honestly.. the borderline profile sounds a lot more like what i struggle with in terms of my split second mood swings and feelings about my environment, etc.
so, that in mind, the jury is still out on the risperdal. i guess i'm gonna play the, "wait and see," game, sigh.
...
also, my doc recommended depakote one week, then risperdal two weeks later. he seemed suprised when i reminded him of the depakote suggestion, which i found somewhat unsettling as his reply was, "depakote? why would i tell you depakote? there are far too many side effects associated with it." good one, ehh? does he know how to instill confidence in his patients, or what? :)thanks for your input, ritch.
much appreciation,
-v.
