I am currently tapering risperidone, and i am not experiencing any withdrawals so far. Could this be due to the fact that i am on other meds, and they are masking any withdrawals i would get. I have read this before, and would like some input or thoughts here on this.
Thanks for any feedback

I have read that before too. Not everyone experiences withdrawal symptoms while tapering off a med.

3mgs/risperidone isn't a high dose, which is good (the less overall exposure to antipsychotics, the better). If you taper slowly, you may be one of the fortunate ones who don't get adverse effects from discontinuation.

Some people feel much better after reducing an antipsychotic. Maybe you're one of those people?
