In the last 10 years my meds have been dismal failures. Until I get a new pcp and she agreed to increase my risperidone from 3 to 5 mg daily. Within about 3 weeks I noticed (so did my wife) that my angry outbursts had all but disappeared, the voices went from yelling to mere whispers and I was no longer seeing spiders. The sense of relief has been incredible.

Remember: After a reasonable length of time if you are getting nowhere with your pdoc find another or ask your regular doctor for help. It can keep you from wasting years due to undue suffering.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I also no longer think that someone is sneaking up behind me to kill me. I can use my computer worry free during the night now.
