Hi, I'm Ay Ra

Hi @Ay Ra, welcome to Taper Community! Have you checked the Find a Clinician section on the left sidebar? You can try to find a deprescribing provider near you. Who is currently writing your prescription for Risperdal? If you can't find an adequate psychiatrist and need to discuss the subject with your current provider, we have information that will help you do that. You can read about Hyperbolic tapering in the Resources section. Here are some links to get you started on your tapering and healing journey: https://taper.community/drugs/risperdal https://taper.community/thread/d41182b4-060b-4c2e-a1e8-da9e6777d7e5 https://taper.community/forums/risperdal Let us know if you have any questions or other concerns, and we'll be happy to help!

Hi again. It's great you're feeling stable enough to consider tapering, and that your therapists are supportive. There is so much information on this website. And I think risperidone solution is available in the UK for when you get below 0.25mg, which makes it much easier. I took 2mg for a few years and I've been tapering for two years, including a 16 month pause at 0.5mg because I got nervous. I'm at 0.3mg now and I have about 12 months to go. Haven't seen a psychiatrist in all that time. I would absolutely not recommend this strategy but it is possible if your GP is on board. Welcome to Taper Community! 🙂
