Reducing or stopping risperidone will be dependent on certain factors such as
1. her symptoms (is it completely controlled or if she is still experiencing some symptoms.
2, how many episodes she has so far?
3. how long she is taking Risperidone for
4. side effects
5. has she tried to reduce her Risperidone?

in a summary, she can try to reduce her Risperisoe if not experiencing symptoms and does not have many episodes in the past and remained stable for atleast in the past one year.
My advice will be that she should not stop it just because she is getting married. it may case more problems.
please do it under the care of specialist.
