Benzo withdrawal sucks. Valium or Tranxene are pretty standard for benzo tapers. Supplements such as niacinamide might help. You may want to have sleeping pills and something for daytime anxiety handy...are you still on the Risperdal?
I would think the valium taper would be good..when I tapered straight off of Klonopin, I started freaking out. Those .5mgs chunks in a taper are pretty big in terms of emotional state. With valium you could go down by 5mgs (or less), which would be nice.
