I'm one of the lucky ones. I have been able to reduce my Risperidone to 3mg, and I very seldom hear voices now. The delusions are still around, but I'm clear enough to be rational about it and behave appropriately. I still keep to myself and avoid getting wound up as part of managing my symptoms. I have had only 3 minor episodes lasting a few weeks each since lowering the Risperidone nearly a year ago. My pdoc seems happy with the balance, but doesn't want to reduce the dose any further.
