Stopping any drug such as risperidone could have a potential of reoccurring symptoms of bipolar disorder as well as symptoms such as repetitive involuntary movements especially of the lower face. For example, jaw grinding, and twitching of the face. It is not similar to withdrawal symptoms of Xanax.
