Someone passed me a report on Long Acting Risperidone (LAR) injections, and I thought to myself I don't see too many people talking about risperidone/Rispderdal. So, is there anyone out there taking risperidone for bipolar I or II? Does it help with bipolar depression?
I'm also curious about the other AAPs as well. I take Seroquel, and it seems to have both anti-manic and antidepressant effects. The side-effects, such as weight-gain and sedation, are OK. If I take it too late at night, however, it will be harder to wake up and feel alert at the usual hour.
So what's your take on the AAPs? Which ones helped you with mania, anxiety, depression, and other symptoms? Which ones seemed to make you feel worse? Which ones had the best/worst side-effect profile?
