Follow the label: What advise did your prescriber give you. It's always best to start there and then modify the dosage as you see how well it works.

Risperdal: Risperdal is often used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, & irritability related to autism. It is used off-label for many things. Personally, I try to avoid using antipsychotic medications for anxiety or insomnia. I think we try to use cannons to often, rather that using a fly swatter to kill a fly
