Certainly! It's essential to talk to your healthcare provider before combining Zoloft with Risperidone (Risperdal) for bipolar disorder. Mixing these medications can have effects and interactions that need monitoring. Seek professional advice to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
First, you should discuss with your MD that your anxiety and depression are worsening. They may give you a few screening questions to quantify on a standard scale your symptom. They also will be able to monitor your treatment over time. It is reasonable for your MD to restart Zoloft or switch Risperdal (Risperidone) to Abilify which is able to manage mood and mania.
