Oh yeah, many of the atypicals are also used now as primary or adjunct mood stabilizers, so maybe she thought you need some extra "mood stabilization" after the lithium problems. It seems to me like you could stay at the 450 mg dose and try adding Risperdal, instead of going back up to 600 of lithium AND adding Risperdal. But hey, I'm not a psychiatrist.
