It's an anti-psychotic hun, the generic name is Risperadone I think, look it up. I would be wary of that to be honest, especially if you're already on Clonazepam and Wellbutrin. They're normally used to treat Schizophrenia and things like that.

It is an anti-pyschotic, be very careful of the dosage.

Im on respirdal. Ive not heard of it being used for depression-only for anxiety/psychotic symptoms. I noticed that when i first went on it, i felt really spaced out and tired, and i gained weight. Good luck with it xx

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
