Hi Michael, no problem for taking so long, I am interested in your combo of Risperdal and Vitex.I also suffer from some social paranoid thoughts and in the past Risperdal alone didn't helped too much.At what dosage of R.and Vitex are you on now?Also I have elevated prolactine from Anafranil and Vitex would be an good add-uon since it lowers it.
Thanks a lot!
> Hi Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I moved so I had no internet connection for a while. Anyway, regarding whether Vitex can be taken alone rather than along with Risperdal, I don't know and I don't want to try. I have come off every other drug (klonopin, lexapro, etc.) and the only thing I am on now is Risperdal. Risperdal was so extremely effective for my feelings of anger and frustration, along with social paranoia that I am somewhat terrified to come off of it. I will say, however, that the Risperdal was not 100% effective for the socially paranoid thoughts, but the Vitex certainly added to the effect.
