do you have triggers in your life? lack of sleep, stress, uncontrolled anxiety? dealing with those--as best you can--might help w/ the psychosis, to a point.

Hello!! Thanks for the response!! I was on abilify for a few months but it wasn't helping so I was put back on risperdal .. I'm only on 2mg a day right now but it probably needs to be bumped up a little. I just worry because it can make me "zombie" like if it's too high of a dose and I hate that feeling of not being able to feel. I took risperdal years ago and it worked for the psychotic stuff so that's why they decided to put me back on it.
I'm unsure of my triggers but staying up late seems to be one of them .. I will for sure have a rough day if I'm not in bed asleep by like 10:30 .. stress may be another one .. the more stressed I get the more paranoid and seeing/hearing things I get .. so I'm trying to keep my stress to a minimum.
