Amitriptyline and fluoxetine (prozac) treatment

I was taking amitrityline and Risperdal for over a year. I slept at least 10-11 hours a night and made one of my biggest recoveries during that period. I gained 30 lbs and high cholesterol during that period due to the Risperdal so I wouldn't necessarily recommend that combo, but it does show how big a factor sleep is in treating this illness (at least for some people).
Were you on a high dose of Risperdal?? Friend of mine is also doing really well on it. So would love to know more.
