In reply to zoloft and risperidol, posted by monkeysmama on October 30, 2007, at 22:21:05
> Okay, so I just started taking 50 mg. zoloft and 2 mg risperidol, and I have been dealing with lots of anxiety and inability to concentrate.. It has even gotten to the point of not being able to leave the house at times. I have only been taking it for two weeks. Anyone have any POSITIVE experiences to share with me?? Is there any hope here? I can't even read a book for lack of concentration. I loooooove to read, so this is extremely problematic as well.
Well you can give it some time -- its really hard to tease out which agent is causing the problem or your own body chemistry. SSRIs can help people with OCD concentration issues, on the other hand they can also cause word finding problems. I'd ask your doctor to slowly adjust the dose of one or the other to get at the roots of things.
