Although Risperdal® (risperidone) is not addicting and is not likely to be abused, the brain may need time to adjust to stopping Risperdal. Withdrawal from Risperdal can lead to symptoms such as insomnia, hallucinations, and irritability. These Risperdal withdrawal symptoms may not improve with time, since they can be symptoms of the underlying disorder (bipolar disorder or schizophrenia). In order to reduce your risk of severe withdrawal symptoms, your healthcare provider may decide to wean you off of Risperdal slowly.
