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.
Your question is a good one. I don't know the answer to it, but your pdoc might be able to shed some light.

I understand the med withdrawal thing...I've been on Klonopin for twenty years and am coming off of it verrry slowly.
