How long will the horrible withdrawal symptoms of risperdal last for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risperdal: Not sure what the "horrible" symptoms are, but usually 7-10 days if taking medication to lessen the side-effects such as Cogentin or benadryl (diphenhydramine). It mainly depends on how long you've been on risperdal, what the symptoms are, and what dose you are taking.
