Seek Help ASAP: You appear to be doing well by getting treatment and taking your medications. However, since you are still experiencing suicidal thoughts, you need to call your Psychiatrist ASAP or the local Emergency dept/crisis center. No matter what problems you are dealing with, help is available By calling 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Best wishes.

Call your doctor!: Side effects of psychotropic medications are diverse and unpredictable from patient to patient. If a person taking risperidone and trazodone notices worsening thoughts of self harm it may be a side effect of either medication, but is more frequently reported as a side effect by patients taking risperidone. Of 13,694 patients on risperidone 383 reported this effect. Contact your physician ASAP!
