I just crashed from a 5 day crack cocaine binge. I am bipolar and wanted something to make me feel good because most of the time I am depressed. I take 50mg of lamictal and 4 mg of risperdal. I know that cocaine effects the dopamine receptor in the brain. Could there be a link between the risperdal blocking the dopamine receptor and me wanting the cocaine to make me feel better? What I am trying to say is that should I not be taking the risperdal since in effects my dopamine. If I didn't take risperdal would I feel better about myself. I have been taking the risperdal for 7 months now. Too long I think.
thanks : )
