If your experience happened in the complete absence of offending agents, then I would classify it as a symptom of bipolar disorder.
It is also important to look into your past to see if you have noticable mood fluctuations, ie depression too, over the years.
If you think the bipolar diagnosis fits, I would aim to treat yourself with lithium alone. The risperdal will certainly make you feel less than enlightened.
When meditating, I have found that lithium alone actually seems to help me get into the zone, but the antipsychotis have always destroyed my desire to become more self aware.
