Risperdal is sometimes used to treat anxiety and depression (amongst other things).
Did you mean that your anxiety got worse after stopping opiates?  I think that that is to be expected.  I expect risperdal would help with the anxiety plus be non-addictive.

If you continue to have concerns you should take them to your doctor.

I don't understand your question but I am sympathetic to the position that that drug is over prescribed.
