Risperdal is an amazing drug for me. After trying Haldol and trillifone, when Risperdal came on the market my psychiatrist switched me. I've been on it ever since. It is great with psychotic mania. Its great with my trauma psychosis. It was great with my DID psychotic part. My only regret is that my dose is maxed out. We use a back-up antipsychotic when I'm having severe symptoms. Risperdal is my go-to antipsychotic.
