General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The half-life of Risperidone is 20 hours. So, the medication is completely out of your system in 100 hours or 4 days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
