Dear User,
You description of illness and the medication you are taking doesn't seem to go hand in hand. I treat depression and anxiety with antidepressants and not solely with antipsychotic medications (like Risperidone). I think you need to discuss about the diagnosis with your doctor for which you are being prescribed Risperidone.
