Just wondering how anyone felt while decreasing an antipsychotic? I have been on risperdal for 11 yrs. I cut my pills in half 7 days ago. So far I feel incredibly better!! I feel like I can think again, almost on a new level. I feel a little more brilliant. My brain is questioning the universe again and figuring things out.
I have felt the teeniest manic. But full functional and calm. Just my brain is firing like crazy. I like that it's finding answers again.
I know going off can cause psychosis. I did decide myself to stop but am seeing a psychiatrist tomorrow. Was taking 1 mg now .5 mg. And I am making sure I get sleep. Have managed 6hrs a night despite feeling like I could stay up all night.
