If you are just anxious, I don't know why your doc doesn't just increase your xanax either. Giving risperdal to an anxious person (who is not having delusions or hallucinations) is like overkill. Most people who take benzos for anxiety don't increase their dose unless they have addictive personalities (like me). Risperdal can be very energizing- like I said in my earlier post- so I'm not surprised you couldn't sleep. You cannot drink alcohol with it and at the dose you're taking you probably won't have bad side effects, unless you're incredibly sensitive. Maybe it's time for a second opinion. Take care.
