What Are The Side Effects Of Risperidone?
My wife has Alzheimer s and was given resperidone by he neurologist. She started with a small dose and now is up to 4 (0.25 mg) pills (2 in the a.m. and 2 before bed). I know she has Alzheimer s, however, she appears to be spiraling downward fairly fast. I was wondering if the resperidone could cause adverse effects in the dosage she is now taking. She also takes Namenda and Donepezil. Thx
