Weaning Off Risperidole

Updated

Hi everyone who is reading this message.
I have been taking Risperidole for about 5 1/2 years now.
I am currently taking 2mg of Risperidole and 100mg of Seroquel and 20mg of Lexapro.
Can anybody tell me how I wean myself off the Risperidole
As I want to have a baby and don't want to be on any medications that will affect the baby.
I heard weaning off one medication at a time is the right way to go.
Can anybody tell me, do I reduce the medication down to 1mg as I am on 2mg at the moment?
Also how long should I be on the 1mg before reducing it down to 0.5mg?
Thanks anyone for your input into my question, hope my question makes sense.
Thanks again everyone.
