I have had confirmation from my consultant that it's ok to have reduced my risperidone from 3 times a day to just night time. My cpn had a conversation with him and let me know.

That's sounds positive! Hopefully it will help

Will you keep a note of how you are feeling? Have you spoken to A about it so he knows what's going on just to help support you?
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

Ok, that’s good. But could you promise me that you’ll take note if A (or us) see a problem?
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

I told A that I was reducing it at the time so he knows but is glad to have it confirmed by the consultant. He knows I wasnt coping well with the effects of it so understands but also knows that it means some of my other symptoms aren't as controlled. Hoping to have telephone appt with consultant soon.

I'm so glad you're talking to A about this love, it's important to have him know what's going on so he can help or if he notices something different etc...
How are you today?

I took a nap this afternoon.... unheard of!!
I got up later than normal, did a few things then went for a walk... about 8k. Came back, got lunch and went to bed for a nap. I know I'm a bit antsy and aggitated but that is actually a bit preferable to how I was feeling with the risperidone and the side effects, it had increased my prolactin levels and it was causing me to feel a bit crap. I do have some diazepam I can take if I'm really struggling with agitation and harmful thoughts although I dont take them as I'm so scared of getting addicted to them. I'm a bit unfocused today and not great at goal setting but I have washing done and on the line, kitchen floor hoovered and been out to get milk and bread. I will crochet later. That could be the total for today but considering I didn't want to get up this morning I'll just have to go with it.

That sounds like plenty to me

Taking diazepam at irregular intervals and/or doses is unlikely to cause addiction. Taking the odd one when you really need it won’t do you any harm, lovely, and is exactly why you were prescribed them

That sounds to me like you've done loads for the day! Definitely use the diazepam if needed hunnni. It's important to use it when you need it - otherwise you would never have been prescribed it lovely!
