I have a diagnosis of bipolar...not sure which one, but am prescribed lamictal - 300mg, prozac - 20mg, and risperdal - 1.5-2mg. However I also take Topamax - 100mg for migraines and toprol XL for HTN. I have tried to wean myself off of the risperdal because I don't like the idea of being on an anti-psychotic...have been on it for about 20months now. When I try to get off of it I have noticed that I become paranoid, see shadows, and become agitated. Is this a withdrawal effect?
