Does Lowering Risperidone Dosage Cause Insomnia?
I was taking .5 mg of risperidone for 5 years. I reduced the dosage to .25 mg to see if I had any reactions because I eventually want to be free of all prescriptions. For the past week I ve had severe sleep disruption, could this be a side effect of lowering the dose?
