I do, however, think a slow taper is always better.
Thanks LauraBeth for the response.

Wouldn't a slow taper like i am doing, just habituate the drug to my brain more the longer i am on it, or will that not effect the taper?

It will take at least a couple more years for me to come off risperidone, which i have been on for 21 months. So far i have not experienced any withdrawals reducing 10% every two weeks from reduced dosage, and wondering if i could go faster.

Some people seem to be able to come off meds in just a couple of months with no problems, while others suffer greatly by doing that.
