daughter has been on tegretol retard for a while now it is used to help with her mood swings she is on 250 mg dose twice a day, also she is on 1 mg of risperidone in the morning and 2 mg of risperidone in the eve all use to help her mood swings,
but today she saw the doctor at the clinic he is only a locum but he was interested in getting her of the risperidone as she has put a lot of weight on since she was 16, she will be 23 next week in this time she practically tripled in size but isn't even 5 ft tall so we have been trying to get her to loose weight she is now 11 stone 7 pound ,
he is interested in trying her on prozac because of constant outbreaks of crying and irritability shes been like this most of her life so if this helps good but i have to watch out for side effects the main one is if she becomes very high I'm to stop prozac immediately then he will try something else
