Hey wassup, I've been tapering off risperidone for quite some time, I've successfully went to 1mg *again* but this time the withdrawal effects were too strong, and I decided to call it quits and check myself into a hospital. The unfortunate thing was they decided to not only quickly fix my problem by tripling the medication, I'm now stuck on 3mg, and I don't know what pill I should taper down from? Should I drop it low to 1mg right away or drop it to 2mg. I know %10 is right but %10 of 3mg leaves me with 2.7 mg, and anywhere between a .2 to .1 dosage is extreme, I should of waited til the relapse went away on the 1mg pill, and tapered by .1 every 2 weeks,
Possible trigger:

Welcome to psych central
 It seems that your focus right now is getting off meds. However, I'm just curious. Do you have a plan on how to handle your psychotic episodes without meds. If you have been hospitalized 7or 8 times, it doesn't sound like what ever you have tried so far is working. Do you have a diagnosis? Or are you saying that the drugs caused your psychosis? I'm having a little difficulty deciphering the last paragraph or your post. Especially part about the laws of physics.

If you are taking mushrooms and smoking week it is contradicting to stop the meds unless you stop all meds.

No I don’t smoke weed or do shrooms, those have caused my psychosis problem. When I mean by law of physics is things in the paranormal realm. God stuff. All I’m asking is whether I should drop straight back to 1 mg or start my taper again. I am diagnosed schizophrenic bipolar. My theory is that the only reason I’m not succeeding is because my addiction to the drug. Anyone an expert in this, because it’s been about a week or two on 3mg. The biggest jump. I don’t know if my body is addicted. This shot is confusing, I never wanted to be on these meds they’ve given my life hell.
