Ug, risperidone. I used to take something similiar but had to go off it becasue it gave me chest pains and breathlessless. Good luck with it.

Can you ask your doctor if you can take Valerian? Valerian works for me. Or can you reduce your med a bit to see if it helps...? (with drs approval of course).
