Below the 2 mg mark for Risperdal

Medications
1

I saw my pdoc today, she said that it is fine for me to lower the Risperdal some more.
I will start taking 1.75 mg of Risperdal as soon as the meds arrive via mail - I am currently at 2 mg and now will be under the 2 mg mark.
I am a bit nervous about it, but we think that I will be fine - she said that if all goes well in 2 months or so, she can drop it even more.
I will be letting you guys know how I do - I start taking the lower dose in 7 - 10 days or so

I have a feeling you will. You keep a good eye on your health, you are doing this with a doc… I’ve never known you not to have a back up plan…

I bet you will do great.

Good luck,
I was doing just fine when i went down from 2mg to 1.25mg. Now i am on 1mg and i am experiancing withdrawal anxiety symptoms. I hope it wont last too long, it can continue for 2 months thats what i have read in other forums, but i am going to hang on, probably i will try to stay home, its more tolerable being at home than going out.

Dropping from 3mg to 2mg would probably boost my energy levels… Might be possible for me now that I am feeling physically stronger and being much more vigilant about my diet. I will talk to my pdoc about it. Might help limiting sugar & caffeine and keeping a routine sleep schedule to prevent anxiety…sometimes simple changes work the best.

Predispose yourself that circumstances and people can and will throw curve balls at you but you can do a lot to strengthen your nerves by putting up with stress and frustrations (especially minor irritations) without losing your cool.

Hope it goes well!
