He went on to prescribe Risperdal but I am reluctant to take it since it's for schizophrenics. I don't want to make the situation worse but I need something for sleep and anxiety. Would there be any harm in my trying the Risperdal? Not sure why I just can't get a diazepam but I will use anything that might help. Does anyone here have experience with this drug? Really need advice on whether I should take it or see another doctor...thanks so much.
Hello James,

In my opinion, if you see a doctor or psychiatrist with a psychological problem and the first thing they want to try is a drug, RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

I hope I'm not upsetting you, but I am pissed.
