Cartesian theater.
I have no insurance and we're out of money.
This is one of my last hopes.

I do have a VERY limited supply of benzos.
What I mean by that is like 3, weak pills.


I once took three just to help me rest.
I have Valerian as well....for all that matters.

Please, help me understand what might happen.

Thank you.
 
risperidone will probably worsen the physical symptoms but will help keep your mind from going too psychotic

what will directly counter nuerotxicity (assuming you have a moderate-large habit) is lithium/depakote/lamictal

the risperidone can help you sleep, though, lack of which I found the most annoying part about alcohol withdrawal is

portion out your benzos and Valerian

what benzo do you have?

could you get more Valerian if need be?
 
I was prescribed Clonazepam for Anxiety.
This was a long time ago...and stupidly used them for what they were prescribed for.
Instead of what I need them for now.


WILL Risperidone really help me sleep?
When I close my eyes I... have ...waking nightmares. I've seen things that would make John Carpenter shit himself.
I just saw a man crawl out of the back of a wolf that was a boy before turning into a fucking 'dog-man'. It goes ON and ON. Faces. Etc.
If I could film the shit inside my head, I'd be a millionaire.
I have no money.
My family is broke. We cannot afford to go to a hospital.
We're already neck deep in debt.




All I want is sleep.

I'm going to try 'watering down' the alcohol...and wait for something.
I can't waste those last remaining pills.

Thank you.

Yes it will! Here's what I would do: take about 2mg a hour before bed. In the interim take a shower then do something that doesn't include a tv or computer screen. You should be feeling quite drowsy at that point.
 
If you're playing with me you realize I'll die?

Stupid thing to say, perhaps, on an internet forum, where we dont know each other, but...
And I certainly don't want to piss you off. Just asking.


I'm trusting your experience...please, tell the truth.


Also, the only thing that keeps those nightmares, neverending....out of my head IS the internet.
IS video and stuff. As soon as I close my eyes, the visions start rushing in? Help me figure this out.

I've looked all over, all I can find is one paper even discussing Risperidone with Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome...?
I'm confused.

Thank you for your response so far. I appreciate it.
Sorry, I'm bad with words.

It'll all get sorted one way or the other.

Thank you for answering.

Risperidone like many anti-psychotics can lower the seizure threshold. So does alcohol withdrawal so i would have to say don't take it at all.

Doctors usually use a benzo like Valium or lorazepam for getting people off of alcohol. I used Valium to stop drinking years ago because there was no way i could have done it without a benzo.
 
I understand. It can be hard to trust people on the internet. All I can say is that I've been posting a lot on this forum and have at least somewhat of a reputation.

Risperidone does not influence seizure one way or the other: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15662766

And 2mg is a common dose for Risperidone

Do things that distract you.
