it would kill your emotions if you would take it for few weeks. risperdal also have different mechanism of action.

if 5-htp makes you manic and you don't want to be manic, lower your dose or quit it completely I don't understand where's the problem here ...

Reporting back after over three weeks of risperidone 1.0mg usage.

The racing thoughts have been significantly reduced and I'm not hyper-excited all the time. I can no longer get high listening to music either. Anxiety is somewhat curbed and I'm far less irritable and less aggressive. There is mild sedation but nothing like the horrendous SSRIs.

The bad news is that it makes me somewhat depressed. I can live with that though. What I can't live with is how difficult it is to read and learn. I feel my short term memory is totally shot. This antipsychotic feels like it shuts off parts of my brain and without those parts I lose some IQ points. I feel slower, and my spatial memory is especially damped. Its hard for me to remember things and string ideas together. Were it not for this nasty side effect this would be a miracle drug for me. If anyone knows how I can deal with diminished learning capabilities or whether they are only temporary please let me know. Otherwise I have to abandon ship and move on to memantine.

(1) mindfulness meditation
(2) psychotherapies based on mindfulness meditation
(3), (4), (5) mindfulness meditation
(6) omega 3 (fish oil) is great mood stabilizer
(7) mindfulness meditation
(8) ketogenic diet may have mood-stabilizing properties, but I dunno more 'bout that. might try coconut oil, but I doubt it'll help you.
(9) lithium?

Seconded.

Can't change without mindfulness. It's essential.

Old thread, but this is more than likely an issue with low Testosterone and too high Estrogen levels.

 

To test why not try an anti estrogen such as Arimidex for 1 month and see how your emotional response changes and how you feel in general, of course ideally with doctors supervision.

 

Taking other drugs will likely only mask the problem and it will continue and get worse.

High dose legal lithium (i.e. lithium orotate, aspartate, etc.) work

As to what controls those emotions, its the brain, drugs, health but also and very important, inner issues that your brain reacts to on a unconscience level, You also are not taking responsibility over your own life, basicly have power over your own happiness, other things shouldn't make you said, be powerfull enough to take responsibility for your own life.

 

As ive allways said, you need to look at every form of possible solution, drugs play a keyrole too, even amphetamine for a part but that's what ive been working on when I started the memantine movement, therapeutic use of recreational drugs.

You dont wanna do that, logic etc almost everything comes from emotions that's why women are smarter. Also not to be confused with being irrationally emotional but emotionally balanced  by being thought balanced. Find wrongs in your thinking hard to do at first.
