It is possible to develop withdrawal from Risperdal® (risperidone) if you stop taking the medication too quickly. Although this drug is not addicting and is not likely to be abused, your brain may need some time to adjust to stopping treatment. Potential withdrawal symptoms include insomnia, irritability, hallucinations or delusions, and mania or depression. These symptoms may not improve with time, as they could be symptoms of the underlying disorder (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or autism).
