Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Risperdal is one of those drugs which must be tapered off. You can ask your prescribing person what schedule is suggested for this drug in your daughter. Usually thi sis done by skipping one dose a day for a few days and then halfing what is left for a few more days and then half of what is left for another day - then sstop. BUT ASK - this is one of the drugs that has side effects that are dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
