Does missing a dose of Risperidone cause headaches?

Hi everyone!

So I totally unintentionally missed my morning dose of Risperdal (I take two doses, one in the morning and one at night).

I now have the headache of my life.

In the past when my doctor gradually reduced my dosage of 2mg to 1mg, I was experiencing very severe headaches. However, when I research it, I don’t find anything about the headaches being a withdrawal symptom.

Does anyone have any knowledge on this? Are headaches associated with Risperidone withdrawal?

Yes they can be.

I get migraine headaches every day with or without my Risperdal so I wouldn’t know.
