IV Risperidone?: Are you sure you don't mean long-acting Risperidone consta, injected into your buttock muscle? As far as i know, Risperidone isn't available in intravenous form. Please tell your psychiatrist about any changes after receiving a medication. Depending on dose, Risperidone can cause motor restlessness (which may relate to your feeling "very very hyper.") caffeine can cause "hyper" feelings too.
