A member asked:
My doctor is making me quit risperdal cold turkey after i have been taking 1mg everyday for over 2yr's, should i be worried about withdrawal symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There must be a reason your physician decided to do this..This would not be my pattern and I would not recommend that a medication be abruptly discontinued that you have been on for 2 years.
