Thank you for replying xjs7
I don't really know what psychotic fear is but I think mine is something like that. It's a fear that's always been there only now it's gotten way too strong. It's like a fear of my inner self falling apart. I have never been able to handle that feeling and have never been able to give in to it so there's a constant battle going on inside me. I've been on anti-psychotics (Risperdal) before when it was real bad and it was starting to work but they took me off of them because of a low white cell count (which turned out to be a natural quality for me)and now I wish I could sue the doctors for not putting me back on them! The last 10 months or so have been totally intolerable being only on an AD and thinking I have to overcome the fear on my own. I think Risperdal works for me but I'm concerned about its safety profile. I'm also taking 225mg of Effexor so it might be a bad coctail. Do you know anything about Risperdal's safety? Sorry this was so long. -Tiina
