Risperdal totally screwed me up while I was taking it and it didn't give me any sort of relief, thankfully I wasn't on it for too long but I would not recommend that antipsychotic to anyone for a lot of reasons. There are better medications out there these days. Though take what I am saying with a grain of salt as I am not a doctor and I was on a VERY high dose of that drug.

i would like to know which Antipsychotic are better these days, as you mentioned it. i am on risperidion myself and tried to taper it off (from 4mg to about daily 0,5mg or 0,75-or 1). also high dosed in the beginning. but i also have my worries about it for my self. it seems to do wonders in others. but as i said can you inform me about the ..maybe better options there are nowadays?
and to hellcat: goodluck to you, i hope it will help you. (it s not a high dose, so for now using it and as it seems helps you, i wouldnt worry so much. but i understand given your you age and already now these kind of mediciations yes. i think its only a good sign that you actually think about these things in any way.
thanks in advance.
