Kris,

Risperdal rendered me completely dry, completely without any libido, any sexual thoughts, etc. Starting at the lowest dose.

I think you need to see your pdoc sooner and to suggest that the pdoc try an older AP with Cogentin. Atypical AP's are not for everybody. There is less of a weight gain problem with the old AP's, and Cogentin would keep possible neurological side effects at bay. You need to make sure the pdoc gets the message, because many physicians would not consider prescribing old medicines, even when the case for old medicines is plentifully obvious.
