Does the sedative effect of risperidone wear off over time like a sleeping pill?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually: The initial effects of this drug class includes sedation. However, with long term use, this subsides unless the dose is changed (increased).

Thanks for asking!: Risperidone is not a sleeping medication so sedative effects over time will wear off.
