Fear has become my main experience of late, ranging from anxiety to sheer terror. At times I disappear into myself and go away at other times I've run away. I get in and out of the bath to feel the warmth on my skin if I get home. I take sleeping tablets to escape, though not for long. I can't connect with things. I don't know how to gauge things anymore. I don't trust my own mind because it's let me down. its difficult to live with.

Why is it strange? Its all bullshit anyway. I've mostly stopped the risperidone but take the sleeping tablets so I dont have to think but they don't always work. Sick of it.

@Niamh1 It does sound like the combination that you are on are making you feel like a zombie . If the effects are that bad you really need to ask about alternatives .

It doesn't always work because I said " you only have half hour to get to sleep after you have taken it before it wears off " ... that is why you should ask for an alternative . Things will not get better unless you make changes

I understand the need to make changes. That is all I have done for the past year. Thanks.

I searched for many years before I found the medication that has helped me . I would go back to my GP or Psychiatrist and explain how you feel . Mirtazapine would help if you could tolerate it , but considering the medication you are taking now , I would not have thought you would have problems with it . the trouble with fluoxetine is that it can make anxiety worse ... Mirtazapine is a calmer , it will do the opposite . You can only try your best . But I would never give up until I found something that I can live comfortably with
