I am not sure how much the memory loss is due to the medicine and how much is due to bipolar. However, I am wondering if any of you feel minimum cognition loss, if any, and if so what are you taking?
Who feels like their normal smart selves?

Risperidone is a very strong downer and your anhedonia is likely from it. I was on it. Horrible.
Note that depression can produce anhedonia and a temporary decline in cognitive abilities.
I was my normal smart self on Lamictal and now am on Lithium, but Risperidone TO ME (everybody is different) was like poison, in hindsight. Pure poison.
