Thank you for sharing the details. In patients taking Risperidone (Risp) and Lamotrigine, most pre-workout supplements are generally not recommended, especially those containing high caffeine, stimulants (e.g., tyrosine, green coffee extract), or “energy boosters.” These can cause palpitations, anxiety, agitation, sleep disturbance, and mood destabilization, and may counteract psychiatric treatment.Starting gym activity itself is safe and beneficial, but it is best to avoid stimulant-based pre-workouts. A simple alternative such as light food, hydration, or black coffee in small amount (if tolerated) is safer. Post-workout protein supplements without stimulants are usually acceptable.
I strongly advise discussing any supplement use with his treating psychiatrist before starting.

Truth
No one knows among us if this will be good for him or not.
He can take this and try that.If he will face any problem he can stop that.
Don't inform him that you can have side effects
Then he will surely wait for this to happen and then his mood will become disturb.
I am dealing with drug toxicity too and Risp Lamictal with time will show him adverse side effects.
So from now try to find the root cause and triggering factor of his problem
don't suppress his mind by these medicines for lifetime.
He will suffer from complications later on.
I am dealing with psychiatric issues and Brain issues by diagnosing root cause.

Aapke husband ki medications (Risperdal aur Lamictal) ko dekhtey hue, pre-workout supplements ka istemal kaafi risky ho sakta hai. In baaton ka khayal rakhen:
Caffeine aur Energy Surges: Pre-workout supplements mein kaafi zyada caffeine hota hai (jaisa ke aapki image mein 150mg hai). Ye Risperdal jaisi meds ke asar ko kam kar sakta hai aur anxiety, restlessness, ya neend ki kami ka sabab ban sakta hai.
Seizure Risk: Lamictal aksar mood stabilization ya seizures ke liye di jati hai. Kuch energy supplements brain ki electrical activity ko disturb kar ke seizure ka khatra barha sakte hain.
Heart Rate: Pre-workout aur psychiatric meds dono dil ki dharkan (heart rate) aur blood pressure par asar daltay hain, jo ke khatarnak ho sakta hai.
Mashwara:
In supplements ko shuru karne se pehle apne Psychiatrist se lazmi mashwara karain. Gym ke liye natural energy sources (jaisay kela ya thori caffeine wali coffee) zyada behtar aur safe hain.
Kya unhein ye medicines kisi specific mood disorder ya seizures ke liye prescribe ki gayi hain?
