I have a friend that takes 3mgs of Risperidone, he's been taking it for a couple years or so and wanted to know how to ween off of it properly. Probably a 2-3 month process? But with a 3mg pill I am thinking you would have to cut it a certain way probably? Danke.

it'll take a while. Ask the prescriber for some smaller pills...risperdal comes in 1mgs and I think there are some .5 and .25 tabs out there, also, so that should make dx'ing easy.
as for how to do it...google "peter breggin" and you should find plenty of info.
