I seem to have re-stabilized over the past several days. I'd been on a dose of 1.5 to 2mg Risperdal. What it took to get me stable was 5mg. I spent two days on 5mg, and was stable for the first time in a few weeks, but spent most of the day sleeping, only getting up for appointments and not really "waking up" until 3pm.

I've dropped back down to 4.5mg Risperdal and added in .5mg Klonopin, which is much more tolerable. Still sleeping more than usual, but not so dramatic like with 5mg Risp.

The thing I'm most happy about right now is that I can trace this to my own naive actions. Its most likely because I smoked pot. It was certainly not the brightest idea I've ever had, but it shouldn't have been *that bad.* But it was *that bad,* and its not a mistake I'm going to make again.

Much better that way than to have had a bad episode like that strike out of the blue. It bodes well for the hope that I won't stray too far from my baseline of needing 1.5mg Risperdal if not majorly antagonized.

I'm finally getting my diet and exercise back in order. Both of those went by the waste side during the episode. I worked out for the first time on Friday, and am having my first calorie restriction day today. I shudder to think of what the scale is going to say, and aim to continue avoiding it for as long as my morbid curiosity will allow ;)
