Hi, My Daughter Is A Recovering Opiate Addict And Has
Hi, my daughter is a recovering opiate addict and has been on Risperidone for about 9 months. She is also on Suboxeyne and Cymbalta. She is actually doing really well in life. Probably the best in about 10 years. Has held down a high responsibility job for the last 8 months etc. The problem is extreme fatigue. She finds it almost impossible to wake up in the mornings. It seems to be getting worse. She just drags until she takes her Adderall for ADD issues. She has told all this to her psychiatrist whom she sees once a month but he seems unconcerned. She also sees a therapist regularly and as I said in all areas but this is doing really well. Prior to either the Risperdone or Cymbalta (we are not sure which) she was not this low energy. In fact she used to run 5-8 miles several time/week, although she had high levels of anziety and difficulty functioning. Sooo, the question is do you think it is the combination of drugs? The Risperdone? What can she do if the psychiatrist does not seem willing to tweak the meds?
