Might help. Might not. No way to know. Trial and error is the only way.
A possible problem is that some of those serotonin receptors were blocked by risperdal, so even just regular amounts of serotonin introduced to them being unblocked will cause them to friek out, and that is probably part of the withdrawals. Introducing even more serotonin, hmmm, don't know.
I think the best thing to do is take miniscule amounts of risperdal and wean slower. Other supplements that work on calming you down might be better, like magnesium glycinate perhaps. Really don't know. I have just always found in my own trials and failures that slow weaning down in small steps has been the best way to go. The agony is prolonged that way, but the agony is much milder.
