Risperdal .5mg. experiencing: extreme pressure in my head, i can't concentrate, and my dr keeps pushing the appt back. should i only take half a pill?

Call MD: Risperidal (risperidone) is slow to leave your system (bloodstream) so should be fine to cut the pill in half. No withdrawal expected. But call your MD right away and ask what to do until your next appointment.
