I'm currently getting off of risperdal because of some sexual side effects I can't take. And it's pooped out on helping my anger. I need a new AP that will help with mixed states and anger/iritibility and some intense mood swings. I was thinking about giving Abilify another try. I can't go back up on seroquel because I was a zombie on it. And other APs have too much weight gain. I was also thinking that my trileptal could probably use an increase. And yes I've tried lamictal but I had too much mania while titrating. I called the nurse today and am waiting on a call back. I can't take this constant teeth grinding rage and annoyance all day long. Not one more day! Answers please and thank you!

Dx: BP2, PTSD, bulimia/anorexia
Seroquel 150mgs
Risperdal 4mg
Trileptal 600mgs
Buspar 45mgs
Ativan 1mg PRN
Vyvance 70mgs PRN

How about Geodon? it's supposed to be weight neutral. Latuda was not a weight gain drug for me; can't remember if that is generally true but I think it is.

Some anti d work well for rage/anger
We always had ppl on zoloft or celexa with these issues at work
Sometimes that rage can be a manifestation of depression turned inward

I think I was on too high of dose and gave me restless leg and shakes. 20mg was too much for me I guess

Abilify was a real weight gain med for me.
I had to stop taking it before it got real bad.
