Going back down on my AP

I just saw my psychiatrist and I told her that my mania is under control and I told her that I’m gaining weight on 5mg of Risperdal and I’m having a hard time controlling my enormous appetite.

She decided on lowering my Risperdal dose very slowly and gradually back down to 4mg.

I start reducing my dose to 4.5 mg after Thanksgiving.
I’ll remain in 4.5mg for 2 weeks and then go down to 4mg.

She said that if I start showing signs of mania then go back up to 5mg.

Hopefully the change will be smooth.
