Risperdal acts to reduce the amount of dopamine the brain produces so that a natural balance of chemicals in the brain. This can reduce or eliminate many psychotic episodes that people experience.
Unfortunately the use of Risperdal is known to cause several harmful side effects for its users. Dangerous side effects of Risperdal are similar to those of many other antipsychotic medications. Potential fatal side effects include tardive, dyskinesia, extraphyramidal disorders and serious neuroleptic malignant disorders. Non-fatal, short term side effects of Risperdal nausea, anxiety, dizziness, insomnia, low blood pressure, muscle stiffness, fatigue and weight gain.
There are also very serious risks of Risperdal being taken in pregnant women. If you become pregnant while taking the drug, it is strongly advised that you consult your physician immediately.
