Risperdal made me more depressed than I had ever been without drugs. I suspect that Lithium is useless, too. Depakote and Lamictal were useless in the past. But there is useless and there is outright detrimental - I was ready to try sui on Risperdal.

I have found Geodon which works perfectly and am hoping that I could phase out Lithium under close supervision of a pdoc.

I recommend taking useless old drugs to the pharmacy for safe disposal because they can be an OD tool.
