A member asked:
Can you tell me if taking resperidone for schizophrenia is a good idea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be good: Risperidone is an antipsychotic medication that can be helpful in schizophrenia and other psychotic illnesses. If your psychiatrist has prescribed this and will be monitoring your response over time, it would be a good idea to take it.
