Honestly, don't worry about the decrease in meds. Just work with the level of meds that make you feel better. I have taken up to 6 meds in my past 15 years or so, at a time, and still do, and it has brought me the **most** relief. I feel so much better. My thinking, my anger, the deep depression, constant anxiety, it's all been lightened very much thanks to this combo of meds. Now every day is not perfect, far from it. But on those bad days instead of feeling like I am carrying 1000 pounds, it's more like 50 pounds, or enough I can just barely handle. Then I take some Xanax, and it usually all goes away.
So, that is just IMHO...my experience. Risperdal was one of my 'lifesaving' meds also. I am on 1mg a day, and if I have a REALLY bad day, can go up to 2-3 mg's, and all the craziness just slows down and I feel better, and can handle life better.
Stay with your meds...do some adjustments...maybe add in another one if you feel the need to. Take good care..
