I tapered from 3mg to .75mg over several months using a micro gram scale. I was going to taper all the way off of it, but decided that risperidone was helping me with my mood, anger, irritability. I noticed a big difference when i got below 1mg. I didn't feel so drugged, and it was having the same effect at the lower dosage that it was at a higher one. I got my libido back when i got to 1mg and below, and my personality came through more when i got to that dosage.

Try lowering it to 1mg or less slowly, and see how you feel. It might work just fine for you at a lower dose. I noticed a big difference between 2mg and 1mg.

good luck
