Risperidone first!: The risperdal is well known to cause drowsiness. As long as you're not at risk for harming yourself or others by reducing the dose of Risperdal, even a slight reduction or taking it only at night may increae energy and motivation. Seeing the prescribing provider sooner rather than later would be great too!
