I'm at a loss. I've turned out to be a person that is sensitive to psych meds. In the last year I've been on Li, Epival, Seroquel, Olanzapine, Risperidone, Lamotrigine.... and all but lamotrigine has caused side effects. And in some cases a side effect or two from the "rare" list. Right now, on Risperidone.. my blood clotting is being affected. I've never been a bruiser.. or had problems with blown blood vessels in the eyes. I've had both in the last 2 days. I've been on risperidone for one month. And it was just raised this past week.
I'm getting discouraged. And a bit frightened. I can't go back to work until my cocktail is on the right track... and now I'm afraid its another pill I can't take. I'm mildly having symptoms of TD. I drool in the middle of the day.. I laugh out of embarrassment.
It seems to be a battle between health of the mind OR body.. you have to choose which one.
Anybody out there?
