I'm so very sorry about what you're daughter is going through. How high of a dose was she taking?

A medication like this must be stopped via a very slow taper to avoid withdrawal, and rebound effects, which also may include seizures, depression, diarrhea, and insomnia.

How is she doing, now? Has there been any change?

Ref: Risperdal Information

Is she on any other medications?
