I recently got diagnosed as bipolar after a hospitalization I find that my emotions/feelings come and go. There are times where I feel almost nothing at all like I am moodless and then other times I feel an intense surge. I don't know if it is the meds or just the therapy I am going through.

It's probably not the Effexor, but could be the risperidone. I'm on it, and notice that I'm more emotionally flat than before I started taking it.

Cool good to know I'm not alone, I agree it is probably the risperidone and I am likely not going to go much higher on the dosage or at least try not to but I still find myself being indecisive and wishy washy with my decision making.

Anyone experience the frequent changing of mind. I think it is anxiety based but really I am not sure sometimes I feel like my anxiety increases for no apparent reason.
