I'm glad that you're feeling a little calmer, but I wish that you got more sleep.

1mg was a therapeutic dose for me for maintenance therapy and I have a high tolerance for meds. I don't know what the liquid equivalent of that would be, but I'd imagine you could see some benefit from the at 25mg. I hope you can tolerate it at that dose

I'm sorry that your husband got impatient with you last night. I'm glad he helped you even if he couldn't understand your rational for choosing the liquid form of risperdal. My husband is not a good listener either, especially when he is frustrated.

Since you're going to be taking the liquid regularly, it may be worthwhile to invest in a better syringe, one that is easier to draw up and measure smaller amounts of solution. That would make things so much easier. I'm sure you can find one on Amazon or an online drug store. You might want to spring for expedited shipping so you're not stuck with your current situation for too long.
I will see if I can find something suitable online.
