Side Effects
Risperidone can potentially cause tardive dyskinesia. Common side effects include: nausea, anxiety, dizziness, insomnia, low blood pressure, muscle-stiffness/pain, sedation, tremors, and weight-gain.How it could make you feel and why?
Risperidone is a very strong dopamine blocker (antagonist); i.e., it inhibits functioning of dopamine receptors. It reaches peak plasma levels quickly regardless of whether it is administered as a liquid or pills. The strong dopamine-blocking reaction is known to make some people feel nauseous if they do things that normally triggers the dopamine reward, such as eat a good meal or have sex. Risperidone is metabolised fairly quickly so this potential for nauseation subsides usually in two to three hours.

Health | In a second study, the UCSD/VA research team found that the risk of tardive dyskinesia was significantly (about sixfold) lower with the atypical antipsychotic drug, risperidone, compared to the typical drug, haloperidol, in 122 middle-aged and elderly outpatients (21 percent of whom had AD dementia, with psychosis or severe agitation treated for 9 months) (Jeste et al., 1999b). The marked difference in the risk of tardive dyskinesia with typical versus atypical antipsychotics suggests that the latter may be preferred in the treatment of elderly AD patients with psychosis or severe agitation who are at a high risk of tardive dyskinesia.
