Twiddle, I am dx's with Bipolar 1 and psychosis nos, my first psychiatrist was pretty pro monotherapy, my last was pretty pro huge coctails. I am no longer on any meds and have not had an episode since. It has been over a year since my last episode, so I am quite certain that monotherapy can be done with Bipolar 1 if no meds can be done. I think that's pretty good.

AP's are major tranquilizers, hence the dull and loggy feeling.

What does you pdoc say when you ask to come of Risperdal? You say you are trying to get him to take you off?
