I have paranoid and irrational thinking at times. The last time I saw the shadow people and started thinking certain people worked for the shadow people was over a year ago (Full blown out manic episode). A few months ago I started getting a feeling I was being watched and when I told my pdoc this he upped my risperdal.

I went as high as 6mg and it really helped but it messed with my sex drive, my ability to enjoy sex, my mood became flat. It wasn't good and as soon as I stabled out a bit we began lowering it. I was on 3mg for a while but I had to go up to 4mg then 5mg because I went from being paranoid to manic. So I'm currently on 5mg as of Thursday. My pdoc's last day was Friday and I'm getting a new pdoc so I'm hoping that my new pdoc will allow me to go back down on my risperdal once I level out again.
