Hello,
It is reported while rispwridone withdrawal. Consult a psychiatrist and get evaluated. You might require anti anxiety drugs like clonazepam. Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
