Q: Psychosis?

Hi, I had my first manic episode about 8 weeks ago and have bene on risperdal for 5 weeks now. As far as racing thoughts, strange images in my head, feelings and not sleeping ,,, its worked real good. Howeer im still really depressed and the depression is not shifting whereas before it would. I think its the medication so I missed my dose last night and had the strangest night ive had in over a month. First of all I kept waking up, couldnt sleep, then I had all these numbers flying through my head, I could see them at the front of my mind, and then I had this strange expereince with a loud buzzing sound and presence on my back. Is this possible from just missing one nights dose ? Or was I just dreaming.

It could be you should not stop taking medication suddenly because it can cause negative effects. I would advise you to see your doctor and tell him what is happening he may reduce the dose or introduce a mood stabiliser or change the current medication. Hope this has helped. By the way what dose were you on?
