She had bad dreams or visions, but with risperdone the visions have stopped.

Neuro here is saying can't do anything different besides the clonzepam -says there is nothing else. She has the dreams snd hallucinations-well clearly it isn't stopping those 🙁

Clonazepam is for anxiety, not for visions, my mom takes xanex which is like clonazepam, anti anxiety and risperdone, for visions, seems to work pretty well.
