Is risperidone once or twice a day

im on paliperidone er and i know 3 mg risperidone = 6 mg paliperidone, i may have to switch to risperidone because of cost and insurance, so i am wondering do u take risperidone once a day or twice a day as i notice online it says the half life is alot shorter than paliperidone and more variable 3-20 hours vs. 24 hours for paliperidone

I took risperdone 5 years. 2x a day 3 mg morning and night.

As for the half life… usually on the third day of no meds I’d start having ‘issues’
