Why does Risperdal help me think more clearly ?!
Question: We do know how Risperdal works. Because it's an antipsychotic and it's mechanism is to block dopamine and serotonin 5-HT2 brain receptors.
Most medications used in psychiatry to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders work by inhibiting dopaminergic activity. It's thought that it's hyperactivation of the ventral tegmental area and dorsal striatum regions that cause the positive symptoms of schizophrenia which include altered thinking.
Serotonin is one of the neurotransmitters that affects mood. When serotonin 5-HT2 receptors are blocked, this maintains mood stability. Mood can affect thinking.
That's why.

They way the drug works is actually unknown. I hated it.. it clouded my thoughts and made me drowsy all the time.
It is a med used in the treatment of psychosis....or psychiatric disorders so it would make sense that it makes you think more clearly...
It is one of the psychotropic medications and has the wonderful affect of helping you think more clearly.
I take Cymbalta, Seroquel, Ritalin and sometimes Klonapin.
Some of these help me think more clearly as well.
Let us enjoy our moments of great clarity.
