A member asked:
What is the max daily dose for risperdol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies: By and large, dosages of major psychopharmacological agents have to be carefully and individually determined. In adults Risperidone dosages range from 0.5 mg twice a day to 4 mg twice a day, although in some psychiatric conditions could go a bit higher. There is a risk of side effects, such as muscle stiffness and shaking as well as mask face. Long term effects like tardive diskinesia are serious
