What Is Risperidone?
Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic medication prescribed for schizophrenia, bipolar I disorder (manic episodes), and irritability related to autism spectrum disorder. It is available in oral tablets, oral solution, and orally disintegrating tablets, making it suitable for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills.
Conditions Treated
- Schizophrenia — reduces positive symptoms (hallucinations, delusions) and negative symptoms (flat affect, social withdrawal)
- Bipolar I disorder — controls acute manic or mixed episodes, alone or combined with mood stabilizers
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) — FDA-approved for irritability, including aggressive behavior and self-injurious behavior in children ages 5–16
How Does Risperidone Work?
Risperidone is a dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonist. By blocking overactive dopamine signaling in mesolimbic pathways, it reduces psychotic symptoms. Its serotonin antagonism helps minimize movement-related side effects and contributes to mood stabilization.
Dosage Overview
- Schizophrenia (adults): 2 mg/day initially, titrated to 4–8 mg/day (max 16 mg/day)
- Bipolar mania (adults): 2–3 mg/day, up to 6 mg/day
- ASD irritability (children): 0.25–0.5 mg/day initially, weight-based, up to 1–2.5 mg/day
Common Side Effects
Potential side effects include weight gain, sedation, elevated prolactin levels, metabolic changes, and movement-related symptoms (EPS) at higher doses. Regular provider follow-up is important for monitoring.
