Morning everyone!

I'm now on my 5th day of being medication-free & I'm happy to say I've not noticed any increase in symptoms or side effects from stopping other than perhaps waking up early in the morning. Risperidone has a pretty short half-life so I'm quite sure if I'm not experiencing any bad effects now then I won't be expecting any to suddenly pop up.

I'm already managing to stay up later, which I'm pleased about. I hated getting tired & going to bed at 8:30pm every night. I'm just waiting to see if I'll maybe get some more motivation back now I'm off it... last time I came off APs it took about 2 weeks for my motivation to come back fully. It's not like I had a drastic decrease in my motivation on Risperidone but I think it did have a slight effect.

All in all, it seems like going medication-free is working out well for me for now. Let's just hope this psychosis is transient & I won't get any sort of relapse.
