Are their adverse neurological effects that can occur with a fifteen year old female taking risperdal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are potential neurological side effects - that are extrapyramidal (tremor and rigidity) in nature. The risk is usually increased with high doses. If you are concerned about this, please discuss this fact with the doctor prescribing the medication.
