Hi Suz. I'm not familiar with resperidone, but the symptons you described reminded me of what I experienced when I tried Lexapro and Zoloft, before finally finding comfort and relief with EffexorXR. Those first two meds I mentioned left me with the darkest thoughts and suicidal ideations, but that's just my experience, I know they work well for some people.

I've heard it described as "cobwebs in the brain", almost a fuzzy, dream-like state of existence. That rung true for me, for a few months I felt like that and just focused on going through the motions to make it through a day at work.

I hope you find some relief, and although I worry about you, I'm proud of you for your strength and the constant ability to reach out for answers and support. Keep it up, k?
