Is there any way to cure PTSD and bipolar disorder?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

I would like to inform you that most of the psychiatric medications take too long to show effects on individuals. Since you were prescribed Risperidone just a week back, there is no need to wait for more time. Most patients with Risperidone show an effect after three to six weeks in general. In addition, the prescribed dose of Risperidone is just 0.5 mg which is the lowest possible dose. In case the effect is not evident by two to three weeks, the dose should be increased to a higher level (1 mg or higher). Most of my patients need 1 to 4 mg Risperidone and only small fraction responds to low dose such as 0.5 mg. I mean to say that both the time and dose of medications may need change to show the effect of prescribed medications.
