I think I'm noticing something from the 0.5mg of Risperdal I take.
I think maybe I'm thinking less. I usually have all these thoughts and sometimes I even find myself talking to myself under my breath. (I hope no one notices this!) Now it seems like I don't think as much. I just really noticed this today. I'm not really thinking about Dr. Bob as much now (much to his relief I'm sure!).
I'm not sure whether this lack of thinking is entirely good... I don't want to lessen my ability to learn.
I think I feel calm, too calm...I need some more anxiety to motivate me to study more.
I studied today!...for about 4 hours. Yay!

Hmmm...I just did a quick Google search for "dulled thinking" and it turns out that perhaps there is a much simpler explanation for my lack of thinking today...mild dehydration.
I've been forgetting to take my water bottle to school with me the last couple of days and I know I'm not getting enough water. Yesterday and today I noticed some muscle cramps in my leg. I hardly ever get those. I'm going to drink more water now...yikes.

Deneb, Sounds like the resperdol is working. Keep up the good work. And bring your water bottle to school. Fondly, Phillipa

OK, maybe I just didn't read your post right, but it seems like you said that dulled thinking had to do with dehydration =P I'll go back and read. Glad the med is working:)

I don't know if the med is doing anything. I can never tell these things. Maybe this means something...maybe this means that I didn't have a problem to begin with? I just don't know. It's probably all psychological with me and this new p-doc has it all wrong.
I don't think the Risperdal is doing anything at the moment, unless procrastination and lack of motivation is a side effect...

OK. I gotcha. I hate how p docs are always trying to give you medicine. Mine does that too.
