Sizodon (Risperidone) is an anti-psychotic drug. It should not be suddenly stopped or discontinued without doctor's advice. If you have suddenly stopped taking Sizodon on your own you have taken a risk and you may have a rebound of your symptoms.

I suggest that you visit your doctor, discuss the side-effects of Schizodon with him and discuss about reducing dosage or tapering the drug. Follow your doctor's prescription and advice strictly.
