It wouldn't necessarily be bad, but generally the more dose that accumulates over time of neuroleptics (in other words your total lifetime dose of neuroleptics as a whole), the greater the risk for side effects like are experiencing. It is not uncommon to get a stimulating effect from a low-dose risperdal. I'd say drop the phenothiazine, take the risperdal in the AM, and use something like Remeron or Ambien to sleep at night.
