I am on risperdol and i can say it does work for me, although Im on seeveral others too. I tried getting off the risperdol a few years ago, but couldn't do it. That is how much it helps me. I am not one to be fooled with when it comes to my meds, I've been hospitalized while trying to get med changes and even had to do a 21 day stay at the hospital to get me controlled on the dosages and new meds too. I wish you well and that you can get everything in order for your problems with the medications.
