Risperdone is sort of an "as needed drug", it should start working once you take it again. Get a pill box. That is what I use, I take a lot of meds though.

Have a good day!!!

Hugs, Karen...

If you are feeling bad, I would take it, then tomorrow get back on your regular dose. No sense in suffering when it could help. Or take a half of one and take a whole one tonight. If you aren't sure, call your doc and talk to somebody there. I would hate to give you the wrong advice....

I hope you feel better...

Hugs, Karen...

Pill box is a great idea. those of us on multiple meds usually use the boxes. So much easier to keep track.

I use a weekly one. But there are boxes that goes up to four weeks.

Peace, hope you are feeling better, those voices are annoying.
