I have been taken off the anti depression medication (Efexor) but remain on .5 mg Risperdone at night but I had been on 3mg previously. -

I think that this is something that you should discuss with your prescribing GP/psychiatrist.
In my private experience, responses to psych meds can vary a lot - the first antidepressant that I was on was, for me, worse than useless (bad suicidal ideation) but the one that I am on now is, for me, great.

It might help if you read what it has to say about Efexor and Risperdone and talk about what you learn from that with your health professionals.Report this post
