I wanted to lower my Invega from 9 to 6mg. But pdoc said what if I will have symptoms again? So you should talk to see if she agrees. For how long have you been on your actual dose of Resperdal?

Seeing that u only have cognitive and negative symptoms i dont see why u couldnt try to lower ur dose to 1mg.

Make sure you ask your pdoc first @far_cry0.
Why do you want a lower dose?
What are your symptoms on 3mg?

I think that u and i have a very similar form of sz. My main complaints are also mainly negative and cognitive and i have a very hard time sleeping. With my pdoc we’ve decided to lower my meds from (25mg seroquel + 10mg abilify) to (2.5mg abilify now), my main complaints are tinnitus, visual snow, disorganization and insomnia.

Yes @GentleSoul…!!! There seem to no medicational help for negative and cognitive symptoms… i think in the future we will get help from medication for negative and cognitive symptoms…!!

Some time i loose hope… i think better to die…!!!

But some time i think scientist are doing best to help szphrenic people…!!! I can only hope now…!!!

May god sees this…

I asked my doctor once if cutting the risperdone down 1mg would help and he told me it wouldn’t make much of a difference. I guess that is why he always upped my risperdone by two milligrams.
