Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry as it is very minimal dose.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

But, 1 mg is very minimal dose, so nothing to worry.

As risperidone is an antipsychotic and usually it is not prescribed for anxiety unless and otherwise there are any psychotic symptoms.

So, consult your doctor regarding this.

Hope I have answered your query.
