Rest in Peace, Gloria...you will be missed.

For BP II:
I am currently managing to maintain a semblance of sanity taking
Risperidone 0.5 mg in the a.m.,
Risperidone 1.0 mg nightly, and
Clonazepam 0.5mg nightly

Extensive talk therapy keeps my head above water while the meds keep me splashing merrily along.

Was taking lithium, lamotrigine and lorazepam but those have all been discontinued...for now. At one time, I also took Abilify (caused extreme tremors) and Zoloft (caused extreme auditory hallucinations).
