First is from four to now two mg of risperdal yay. Second jumped off Paxil three days ago, feel just fine. Third Effexor XR 150 to 75 no difference. I am prescribed four 800 mg of gabapentin a day but only take three 400s. I take klonopin three times a day with forty five mg of Remeron at night. Also five mg of sonata here and there. So all in all I think the nightmares are more intense because I'm coming off some meds. Atleast that's what my doc said could happen. The apathy from risperdal sucked. Oh and also 100 mg of seroqual at night. I feel better not worse. The dreams are more racey if that makes sense to where when I wake up I have a massive headache. Wish me luck guys as we reduce what we can and that this is the right direction to go in.
 
Good for you to work on cutting back to just what you need. Sounds like you are staying aware of how you are affected by the change.
Hang in there!
