I will certainly try to get a second opinion (in this case would be a third one).

Basically, the treatment I have is the one for a bipolar but with an important exception: I am not taking any mood stabilizer. As I heard, this is really vital for the control of the disease and today I am only relying on an antipsychotic (risperdal) and an antidepressive (lexapro). The only bad thing is that I must take a rather big dose of risperdal everyday (6 mg) and that makes me feel my body all achy. I've also heard that there are important side effects for the risperdal in the long term. Does anybody know anything about this?
