That thread suggests perhaps taking double your normal daily dose....

Stan answered that:

Some of you may be on antipsychotics as part of your mental health treatment.

To make it more clear added in FAQ , including posts and details about that .

What are "The 13 Antipsychotics"?	Replace AE completely – ONLY if part of your regular health treatment. Do not take a single dose; Do not change prescribed dosage. Personally-tailored – dosage varies greatly between individuals (explained here & here) If used regularly they replace AE – use Stat directions (without meto). Stan listed meds with nM (receptor affinity). Higher numbers may indicate stronger effects. Example .

Its still very confusing...how much should i take in place of AE? In stats dose its 3 *10mg AE, if replaced completely it means 30 mg of risperidone which is not possible to get at a time(doc doesn't prescribe this amount)..i only take 1 mg risperidone daily...
My question- how much risperidone should l take prior to SN?is it 2 mg(double dose of regular) or 3* 10mg(replaced completely by AE).....its again confusing but,
But idk how to take the dose?!?

Please read carefully and do your research .

use Stat directions (without meto)

regular health treatment; Do not change prescribed dosage.

You have a link in the post I gave you with example

You should also use the search option in the site , look for example "SN Risperidone" etc

So I think what @Quarky00 is saying is that if you're already taking it regularly, then just continue with that regular schedule of taking it, and your antiemetic requirement should be covered, without the need of any additional regimen.

not sure if Quarky00 meant that...i take very low dose of risperidone(1mg)

 

[Quarky00]

@jgm63 is right , @Quarky00 indeed meant that ;)

@zen , I provided links and posts . Did you read ? I'm not pointing fingers , just asking you to read :)

Abruptly changing dosage of antipsychotics can be harmful . Tapering or increasing is done with consideration . I'm not a doctor and no one here can do a personal psychiatric follow up for you . The conclusion of that was marked in red in above reply . I.e. don't change dosage (unless you really know what you're doing; dosage is very delicate and personal - that was explained very well ) .

You asked twice, thrice . I don't know how to make it more clear.

Say an anonymous person in the internet tells you "take twice antipsychotics!" -- does that sound right? :)

My initial thought was :

I think the meto stat dose is based on roughly taking the daily maximum dose in one hit.
And the 48 hour regime is the same idea, but taking one-third of that, at each "interval".

Does the risperidone packaging or information leaflet state a daily max dose ?
Perhaps you could then apply something similar....
eg perhaps you could do a 48 hour regime, so take one-third of the daily max, 3 times per day, for 2 days....

However, as @Quarky00 states, proceed with extreme caution....
You would need to find out if changing your dose would be harmful, so it may be unwise to consider my thoughts above without very careful due diligence and medical advice....

Would advice against:)

Antipsychotics have EPS . That alone should make person reconsider upping or changing dose .

max for BPD is 6mg , OP on 1mg -- taking x6 antipsychotics not good ..

I am taking only 1 mg of risperidone daily...would 1mg be enough before SN?

A very quick google search : risperidone antiemetic dose
In the search results, I notice : Risperidone was given as doses of 1 mg once a day
So perhaps it might be okay....
I'm no expert. The search box here, plus google, are you friends....

If you were thinking of taking a higher dose then you should be very careful and try to do some research.
Perhaps take a look in the "information leaflet" for risperidone :

https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/files/pil.4353.pdf

It would be wise to read that leaflet fully....
