In reply to Anti-psychotic as sleeping pill, posted by Guy on September 13, 2003, at 11:15:59
Hi Guy!
(I love saying that.)
I have been blessed with a great new pdoc.
He immediately took me off of Risperdal
due to possible TD. I was taking .25mg!!!Can you find another sleep agent besides an anti-p or do you really need it (like I still sometimes do)?
> I've tried so many meds for sleep...most make me feel sick, especially the anti-depressants. Clonazepam worked for a time then pooped out. I sleep well with Zyprexa but the bloating and constipation is incredible. Can anyone suggest another anti-psychotic that is good for sleep. I don't care if it is an old one as I plan to be on a very small dose, and I think the risk of a movement disorder is pretty low when used like that.
