No. Risperdal is an anti-psychotic medication. If you are not schizophrenic, you do NOT want to take this medication.
It is not for insomnia at all.

My moms medical doctor prescribed her that for anxiety and sleep I think. But its an anti-pshycotic, My mom and I both work in the mental health field. She decided to just not fill the prescription and take it, but I think in your case you should seek a second opinion.
