In reply to Is 1mg of Risperdal a high dose ?, posted by Tepiaca on December 9, 2005, at 21:24:43
My limited experience with Risperdal for an entirely different use was that 0.25-0.5mg improved my symptoms, while increasing past that dose actually worsened symptoms. Seemed to have a very narrow therapeutic range for me. I always find that I need to start low and go slow with every new drug. Better than starting high and needing to taper back due to side effects.
