Risperidal Removal

Risperidal Removal

My 10 year old son has been on Risperidal for 2+ years now (he has high functioning Autism with ADHD). Initially he was on 0.5 mg dose. A few months ago we reduced this to 0.25 mg. What are the chances of him having re-bound or withdrawal issues when we take him off the drug completely? We are looking at removing the drug within the next few weeks.
He also takes Concerta.
Thanks
