It depends: You should follow the directions from your doctor. For most people it is prescribed twice a day, but there can be considerable differences in how quickly your body removes Risperidal (risperidone) from your body, which affects how often you need to take it.. Sometimes other medications affect how much or often you need it. These issues must be discussed with your doctor for deciding what is best for you.
