Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

The risk of side effects with use of rispeidone and lorazepam is much less in compare to the disease for it is prescribed. The side effects varies from person to person but most people experience increased sleep as side effect.

Few person may experience hyperprolactinemia and extrapyramidal symptoms such as lactorrhea, amenorrhea and lack of sexual interest.

I hope this answers you.
