Williamson was locked up in 1992 for six years after being convicted of culpable homicide.
He is currently serving a five-year sentence after being convicted of a High Court level possession of a taser in January this year.
Williamson pled guilty yesterday at Glasgow Sheriff Court to culpable and reckless conduct.
Williamson also admitted possession of the canister without authority.
He will not serve further jail time after sheriff Paul Crozier started his 23-month sentence from today.
The court heard a neighbour heard Williamson shouting about his skin, nipples and chest burning and being sore.
He became "more dramatic" shouting about burning as his then 74-year-old mother Catherine Williamson tried to calm him down.
Williamson was heard shouting: "No wonder you can't breathe, that's f***ing pepper spray."
He then demanded a towel and ice.

Another witness heard the Williamsons talking about "getting their stories straight" after Catherine stated she would phone emergency services.
Prosecutor Hannah Terrance added: "He was heard to tell his mother that it was a prank gone wrong.
"He was also heard to say 'You better tell them you have picked up the wrong can, they'll believe you, it's a reliable story - say it was deodorant'."
Witnesses were then heard to hear the comment about burning nipples.
Police attended and were told by Williamson that: "Two friends had given him pepper spray and told him it was deodorant which he subsequently sprayed on himself."
Catherine meantime told officers that she believed her son had sprayed himself with deodorant before going out but returned in pain.
Williamson was charged with the offence before replying: "I'm the victim here, I didn't know what it was, I had no idea it was pepper spray, I thought it was deodorant."
He was taken to hospital and told there would be no lasting skin damage.
Michael Gallen, defending, told the court there was "no good explanation" as to why Williamson had the spray.
