Frequently Asked Questions:

Yes. Risperdal is an atypical antipsychotic that can treat mental health issues such as schizophrenia, acute manic or mixed episodes of bipolar I disorder, and some symptoms of autism spectrum disorder.

Controlled substances are drugs or medications that have the potential of being illicitly used and have higher chances of leading to substance use disorder among their users. Risperdal is not an addictive, controlled substance. It is a prescription medication manufactured to provide relief to psychotic symptoms.

Yes. Weight gain is one of the reported side effects of having Risperdal tablets. Risperidone present in the tablets can cause an increase in appetite and subsequently weight gain in both youths and adults.

The drug appears to block certain chemical brain receptors that further affect levels of various neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline.

Dopamine and serotonin are two brain neurotransmitters responsible for the regulation of mood, thoughts, and behaviours. Risperdal works to keep their levels in balance, thereby treating neurological illnesses wherein dopamine and serotonin levels rise.

Some patients taking Risperdal tablets start experiencing its benefits within the first week of the treatment course. However, it takes 4-6 weeks for the drug to show its full effect. If there is not much effect seen within 2-3 weeks of the treatment, the doctor may prescribe another medicine or change the dosage of Risperdal tablets.
