Risperdal PRN

So, my Mom finally talked me into upping my dose of Risperdal and I'm already feeling better. I suppose I'll be more sedate from here on out, but I won't have the dicey symptomology either. Haven't decided whether to simply take the extra pill as a PRN or take the upped dose regularly. It doesn't really make sense as a PRN when you're trying to make the medicine non-invasive. But then again there are advantages to the smaller and larger doses.


I think I'll try it as a PRN for now and see where that goes. I guess I like the extra time the smaller dose affords me. It's strange that I get more done when my mood fluctuates. When I need a more sedate feeling I'll take more. It really is a wonder drug. I think it's almost as good as Zyprexa. But with less side effects. Although I wonder how the Zyprexa conditioned me to take my meds. It wasn't good. It kind of would have been nice if they started me out on Risperdal. It's called Risperidone or Risperdal and there's a million variations on the same drug. It really bugged me when they came out with a million variations that didn't really improve anything.


I think my psychiatric meds help me deal with the nonsense the computer throws at me. Which for me, shopping and surfing all the time, that's a very good thing.
