P.S. for questions like these, it's always best to ask your pharmacist. They generally know more about drug interactions than doctors do.

I am on 3mg of Risperdal a day (1mg in the morning, 2mg at bedtime) and just increased to 40mg of Prozac in the morning a week and a half ago (previous prozac dose was 20mg).

Never thought a pharmacist would know more about interactions than a doctor, but now that you said it, it makes sense.
