I still have sleep problems but that has become the norm for me (im on cpap to try and correct it but its a work in progress)... I am going to try dropping down the risperdal to .5mg and see how that goes for a few weeks before dropping to 0. I have not told my psychiatrist yet that I have done this. I may tell her soon but just got to work up the nerve lol, i dont want her to be mad...
Let us know how that drop to .5 goes. I don't know why you were put on risperidone, but be on the lookout for the symptoms you had prior to being put on it. It probably isn't a good idea to not share this with your DR, since they were the one who diagnosed you and put you on it.
Why are you wanting to come off it, and how long have you been on it?
