Doctor Took Me Off 1 Mg Risperidone (Top voted first)

Updated

I was switched to risperidone from Geodon about a month and a half ago. Since then, I have been experiencing problems with nausea and the feeling that I need to gag/dry heave. This occurs on a daily basis and can last all day long.
Thursday, the 5th, my pdoc told me to stop taking the risperidone to see if this med was causing the problem. I woke up about 5:30 this morning after a tossing and turning sleep and felt just really out of sorts. Not nauseous, but somehow like my body was wanting to turn inside out, maybe like when you ache with a fever really bad.
Could this be a withdrawal effect of stopping 1 mg risperidone. It seems like such a low dose, and I don't know if this is the cause or not and don't want to go through it any more if I can help it.

Well, Risperidone is a very potent antipsychotic medication and when it comes to it, 1mg is not a low dosage due to its potency, so yes, you may be experiencing some withdrawal symptoms.

Have you talked to your doctor about this? They may take a while to wear off, but your doctor may be able to suggest ways to minimize them.
