I'd say cut the dose down to 0.5mg for a week or two, then go back up to 1mg, and be prepared for drowsiness for a week or so after the dose increase

The drowsiness is because risperidone has antihistamine properties, this drowsiness should pass off after a couple of weeks as the body gets used to the drug
