Hi.

One of my step sons is tapering off of 2 mg of Risperidone after about 18 months of use. The PDOC cut him to 1 mg for this week and then says he can stop it. This seems really fast to me. I know that they want to start another AP as soon as he is off this one but shouldn't it be a little slower? Will he face WD? A worsening of his active delusion? I am trying to trust the PDOC but my son has been through 8 years of hell I don't want this to add to it.

Anyone have experience coming off this drug??

Thanks.
