I've noticed that, since I started having trouble with my meds a little over a week ago, I get a huge burst of euphoric energy/restlessness (and sometimes other symptoms) an hour or two before it is time to take my risperidone. But, after the risperidone has a bit to get into my system, my energy levels drop again. I will take it tonight like I always do, but tonight's version of euphoric energy has me tempted to not take my meds to see what the heck happens because it feels like it would be a grand old time.
Last night, I went back down to 3 mg of risperidone to see if I would stay stable. I didn't notice much of a difference, but did have a little bit of paranoia on my walk. Since I didn't notice much of a difference, I'm going to take 3 mg again tonight. Unless I can't fall asleep for forever; if that happens, I'll take 4 mg.
Today, I went for a walk, had lunch with a friend, and got some cleaning done. No New Year's Eve plans for me-just hanging out until I decide to go to bed. I only have an episode and a half of a show I've been watching, so I know I'll finish that and then will need to pick a new show to watch. Any suggestions? I have prime and netflix.
