I have been having some nasty side effects this past week. I've just started Risperidal last Friday and just ended Seroquel two days ago.

I've been lightheaded for a few seconds, hundreds of times throughout the day. It makes my stomach flip and my fingers go numb. I thought things would get better after a few days, but they've just gotten worse. I'm now getting physically sick from the dizziness and feel really short of breath.

I've called my psychiatrist twice today, once this morning and then againg about an hour ago. All I got was a recording. I left messages but heard nothing back. I finally got up the nerve to call the urgent on call psych, but, you'll never freaking believe it, it put me back to HER message again!

I'm getting a little nervous, especially if this stuff doesn't stop or keeps getting worse. What do you do if your doctor doesn't answer? I've thpught about calling my therapist, but there's nothing she can do either. How do you know when your side effects have gone too far? And, what do you do, who do you call?
