Are Vision Problems And Confusion Side Effects Of Risperdol?

Are vision problems and confusion/disorientation of physical surroundings possible side effects of risperdol? My wife has recently been put on it to help ease her negative thoughts (being hospitalized for severe depression) enough that she can focus on activities throughout the day, Granted, she has had ECT treatments this past Wednesday and Friday; but the way she seems today is more like what she would be like 2 hours after a uni-lateral treatment, not 2 days, I ask because today she states she feels a weirdness in her head, further described with symptoms mentioned above. And this feeling has her obviously worse than her depression had her. So we requested it be removed from her am/pm med regimen immediately. To make matters more complicated she has retinita pigmentosa. Btw, this is not her first experience with ECT. Any thoughts??
