My h was finally diganosed with rapid cycle bipolar. He has SEVERE rage issues and was put on 3 mg of Respiridol. The lower dosage could not keep his anger at bay.
It was a miracle cure. We both loved it. But after about 9 months he became more of a zombie and he couldnt deal with the the sexual side effects anymore so his phsyciatrist put him on 100 mg of seriquol and lowered the risperidol to 1mg. Within 1 week his mania almost 100 per cent returned. Plus he sleeps a lot.
He doesnt have the pure rage but he says its like he wants to but its like someones pulling on the reins just enough. Hes became agitated again irritable very high on himself etc. So he went back up 1.4 milligram of risperidol yesterday. We dont know what to do now.
We need to know what other meds can be used for this type of bipolar beside this serequol.
