I was having a lot of anxiety- a lot of racing thoughts while trying to get off to sleep.
I was put on 1 mg Risperdal. I took it at night, but it kept me awake (most people don't have this problem, but some do), so I take mine in the morning with my Wellbutrin.
There is definitely less anxiety in my life. Less ups and downs (I still have a normal range of emotions- it's just not as EXTREME as it was before). So far, my combo has been a Godsend...
If you don't believe me, try reading my posts from April... I can't bear to look at them- they were sooooo me. Trying to take care of everyone else, while my own life was going to h*ll in a handbasket...
If you were diabetic, you'd take insulin... It's not a weakness, dear. Just try to think of it a little differently, that's all.
I think you'll find you get better results if you stop judging yourself so harshly.
We happen to like you- whether you need meds or not!
