I've been on Risperidone at various points over the last 7 years from a dose of between 0.5mg and 6mg (and currently a fortnightly 25mg depot) for anxiety/psychotic symptoms. Initially it made me drowsy but as time got on that symptom wore off for the most part. It's really changed my life and, whilst it hasn't made everything perfect I feel much more 'normal' (what more could one ask for!) so I'd say give it a good old go. As people have said, it's different for everyone but my only real side effects have been grogginess/feeling a bit dulled and some weight gain. Good luck.
