But recently I was totally anxious and havign si thoughts I havent had in 3 years so my pdoc upped my risperdal from 0.50 to 0.75 mg. Maybe Im crazy (get it??) or I dont know but I feel better since then. Is it because the thoughts just went away or is it that I can finally accept I need anxiety meds?

Hi HALLIEBETH87,
Things can change. Your body or brain chemistry can change. Circumstances in life can have a triggering effect leading to more stress and anxiety. It is good that you are going back to see your doctor. Just because you need meds doesn't mean you're "crazy." I think it is helpful to think of it like any other reason you would go to a doctor - because you don't feel well and you want to feel better.
