CPK3 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 My question is: How much time (in an average estimation) do synaptic receptors (5-HT/dopamine) need to recover from atypical antipsychotics, such as risperidone or aripiprazole, at the standard dosage after a short amount of time taking them (let's say, 2-3 months)? If anyone has information about this subject, please do share. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuckOnMeds Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I just discussed this with my doctor and she said anytime you lower risperidone by any amount you can expect a 90 day leveling out period. I don't know if that's what you are looking for or not.
