Hi, I am on risperidone and have tapered down from 4 mg to 2mg, but still feel drugged and flat. Does it get easier being on risperidone. I find it works for stopping the voices, but feels like a mental strait jacket.

      The combination I am on works well most of the time, allows me to control my thinking, and not get worked up over things. The psychologist told me that resperidone works best as a combination with citalopram, which may be the reason i was put on a low dose.
