it's very likely the risperdal is making you feel like what you described. if it were me, i'd mention it to my doc and see what they say. they may switch you or lower the dose or something, especially if the symptoms bother you.

Yeah like I'm floating. Mine happens if I miss a dose its weird. I just realized when I eat is when it happens. This is weird. I don't eat until the late afternoon (bad habit). That's when I take the dose....
