Mental Health Victim of the pharmaceutical industry

I was taking Risperdal 6mg because of supposed psychosis and schizophrenia, which was a misdiagnosis. My current neurologist has diagnosed me as possible bipolar.

Anyway, the risperdal left me feeling anhedonic and less excited about everything. I think that this is because of lowered dopamine levels.

I am trying to counteract this effect and go back to the person that I was who was always excited about doing things.

For this, I am taking selegiline, l-tyrosine, piracetam and occasionally cannabis.

Considering l-phenylanaline, 5-HTP, etc..

What should I do for reversing the effects of the antipsychotic. Is there anything that will help or is this state permanent. I have done a lot of research and don't find that there is any specific antidote to risperdal.

Any chemical explanation or drug advice would be greatly appreciated.

Were you taking Risperdal for a long time? Your lack of enthusiasm and vitality may have more to do with depression (or bipolar) than with lasting effects of the anti-psychotic.

This is exactly what I was going to say herbavore.

OP I would imagine that it is definately a symptom of the bipolar.

I have bad interactions from doses of risperdol/invega/sereqoul. Ive noticed antihistamines over 100mg give me the same effects.

I tried the once a month injection of envega or risperdol for two months. It was shitty even after the second lowered dose injection. The ill feelings left me a few weeks later with no permanent damage.
