I dont know for sure but i'd guess you'd experience withdrawel symptoms. Check the information sheet provided for details on withdrawel. When i quit citalopram, i had this massive depression cloud over me for a day. I know i didnt imaginae it, because i quit twice....schizophrenic you say? no i restarted it then quit it again.
If you want to lose weight watch your diet and do some exercise. i wouldnt quit a prescribed medication for vanity

Risperidone
Hi there.... I've been on 2mg of Risperidone for about 3 weeks now following a bout of hypomania and a mixed psychotic episode. I am finding that it is brilliant for my anxiety and hypomania, it hasn't tocuhed my little delusion called Alan, and may be contributing to a bout of depression which is now underway, but then that may just be the inevitable low after a high (I was diagnosed as bipolar in 1998 and have been on a variety of meds in that time). Risperidone is actiually making me sleep less, so much so that I still have to take Largactil at night to get to sleep, its too early to say if it is causing weight gain. As far as stopping meds completely, I'd be very careful. I was once briefly taken off my SSRI Citalopram and got what they call discontinuation effects, dizzy spells, nausea, headaches. I went back on it in despair at these effects but needed to eventaully anyway in order to stop a swing into depression.

I hgope this information helps. Do post here if you have any information at all on Risperidone as I'm still trying to wortk this med out

Best Wishes

Annarien
