> I'm bp2. I really haven't tried anything else. I just don't see how my prolactin level can be raised by 4x's the "normal" with such a low dose of risperidol. It is very confusing.

>Risperdal is a heavy duty drug, it's a drug to take after atypical AP's have failed because it does raise prolactin like the older AP's. If you aren't having delusions & hallucinations I would avoid it altogether. Lamictal or Depakote are a much safer bet as mood stabilisers.
