Brief Answer:
Drug clonazepam will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I understand your concern.

You possibly seem to have Drug related side effect which is moderately severe.

I advise you to start Tab. Clonazepam 0.5 mg at bed time daily for 3 months,this will relax your mind ,calm your muscles,decrease sensation of killing yourself and offer good sleep.

Never mix Marijuana with Risperidone.

These effects will decrease with time and compliance with drug.

Consult an expert psychiatrist regarding the above.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.
