Risperdal in re: to Neurotransmitters/CFS

[Guest guest]

Per Goldstein, Risperdal is roughly in the top twenty drugs targeted

in his testing protocol. One might call it a 'mild' drug (at CFS

doses)compared to most all other medications in terms of their direct

intended and side effects.

(1) Increases deeper sleep stages - but not a strong sleep inducer

like Klonopin, Doxepin, Amitryp. etc. can be. Same ser. receptors

acted upon as Serzone.

(2) Somewhat anxiolytic

In CFS dosing amounts, it doesn't affect dopamine so much. Goldstein

attempts to adjust network functions of the brain by affecting

neurotransmitters and their receptors in specific areas of the brain

amoung other things.

Patients who haven't got good results with other medications or got a

bad result from an antidepress. might give it a try. It's listed as

an anti-psychotic (at higher doses) so you might have to get a

reference from Goldstein's last book Betrayel of the Brain.

It's comparable to taking a breathmint candy versus a jaw breaker.
