It does sound like a mixed episode to me also.

I think those are almost worse than being manic to me. I think I get more worn out having a mixed episode than I do when I am manic.

I agree with the other posters that you should check in with your doc and let him/her know what is going on.

As for the Risperdal I get it in a shot form and seem to be doing better on it that way than when I was taking it orally. I get the shot every 2 weeks and it has done a lot better for me. My pdoc told me that after the first of the year they are coming out with a new version that you only have to get once a month.
