i have to take a few anti depressants as well as anti-psychotics for my medical condition. i take risperidone, selexa, and well butrin. i am pretty much going to discontinue the use of the well butrin, because it is actually causing me to have panic attacks. i also disassociate more. so, more doctor told me to discontinue use if i see that happening. the only thing is that with out that added well butrin, i am always tired and groggy. i am trying to mylot right now just so i can stay awake for a while. if i don't have to do anything i sleep. this is better than having dissociative or schziophrenic episodes, but the grogginess is unreal. it's like your are walking half way in and out of a dream. what herbs and natural methods could i take that would help counter act this effect? this makes life so hard, this illness.

I personally wouldn't start mixing prescription meds and herbal remedies, if it's getting to you that much I really suggest that you go back to your doctor and ask him/her to review your course of medication. I was on risperidone once and it turned me into a complete zombie - I walked downstairs half way through the afternoon and started taking my clothes off for a bath in front of my parents in the living room! I was taken off it straight away as I was not aware of my actions. It's not worth putting up with something that isn't right for you, so don't suffer in silence, go and seek help xx
