In reply to Please help, I'm scared to taper off of Risperdal, posted by SoS on March 16, 2002, at 2:12:07
Sos,
I was on 4mg. of Risperdal last year. When it was time to come off, my pdoc reduced it first to 3mg., then 2mg,then 1mg.,then 1/2 mg. and then off completly. I had absolutley no problem coming off of it at all! I've had much worse withdrawal from the SSRI'S and benzo's.At least in my case, there was no difficulty at all coming off Riaperdal. Good luck with your tapering and I hope this helps you some.

P.S. By the way, we tapered this over about a 2 month period.
