Question
Hello,
Could 1mg of Risperdal, .5 mg of clonazepam, and 10mg of lexapro leave a person with no feelings? Would this be considered a lot of medication? Also could this possibly lessen the fight or flight reaction in a person? I currently am taking these medications and feel like I have no emotions or drive.

Answer
Hi Mike,
It is hard to judge if this is too much medication. That would depend on the person's age, weight, kidney and liver fnctions and medical condition. If you feel you are over medicated you need to see your doctor for an assessment.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
Eric Brandt, B.Sc. Pharm
