Hmmm. How long ago did you quit the risp? What mg where you on and how long where you on it? I ask because risp can have a nasty withdraw. I've experienced it before and my doctors all warn me whenever they see it on my med list. I'm currently trying to only take it PRN when im dysphoric. I'd say if you're going to quit it then at least keep a few by if you get sick.
I too go to a community clinic and am on Medicaid. I know what it's like. One crappy pdoc after another over here! But think about all the work it took just to get in there. Why would you want to screw that up? I know in my place there is a huge waiting list and I still haven't gotten in to see a T because of how short staffed they are.
