My guess is that you are taking this medication to treat schizophrenia or bipolar disorder? The exact mechanism of action for this drug remains unclear and is largely theoretical.
Short-term use of risperidone is generally considered safer and may be appropriate for managing acute symptoms, provided it is closely monitored. However, even in the short term, side effects can still occur, so regular evaluation is important to weigh the benefits against potential risks.
Unfortunately, the side effects can be quite severe, particularly with long-term use. There are healthier alternatives available, rather than relying on medications rooted in theory that often serve to profit the pockets of prescribers of certain drugs, such as risperidone.
