Risperidone is a pretty sedating drug even at low doses, so it's normal to feel tired/ struggle to get out of bed. But as you said, it might also be a symptom of your depression.

Current research shows that risperidone works best with venlafaxine (Effexor) and fluoxetine (Prozac)...but you said you had bad side effects? Maybe you can try mirtazapine? It might work well with risperidone but it is again a sedating drug.

Speak to your doctor if you have any concerns about your medication.
