Hi
Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the input. I defintely liked zyprexa better than risperidone but it costs so much! I went down from 2mg to 1 mg and it helped me some. I also take trazadone. I was taking lithium along with the zyprexa but it gave me the shakes. I've wondered if I might be having withdrawal from it. Pam |

Hi
I see my doctor on Wednesday thank you God! There are things going on in my life that could cause anxiety for sure but I still think most of it is the medication changes. I get a bipolar newsletter from Julie Fast a fellow sufferer. She talks about anxiety being a part of having bipolar. She also mentions that longer days cause mania so I onder if that has anything to do ith my mess. My doc is a pain doc as well as a head doc. I'm not too impressed but I plan to hang in with him for a while and give him a chance. I sure hope the end is in sight for my nervousness. It's really been tough! Pam |

Hi
I got to see Mr No Personality on Wednesday. He gave me .5 mg of Klonopin to take every evening. Also if I start cycling again I'm supposed to take Lithium again. He said the risperdal caused the anxiety. So far I have taken two and I am calmer but I do notice that I'm irritable since I started. I'm supoosed to see him again in two months. Anyone have experience with these meds? Thanks for the input. I really appreciate all the help! Pam |

stopping the risperdal may have caused the irritability - the risperdal, and before it the zyprexa - would treat irritability. the klonopin might help with that too, but it will take several days for your level to build up.
do you already have lithium on hand or do you have to go through calling him etc etc if you start cycling? i had to laugh at your calling your pdoc Mr. No Personality!  some pdocs can be such stoics!  ~ waves ~ |
