Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted that you have developed speech problem due to risperidone overdosage (which you took by mistake in place of ropinirole).
I would like to reassure that risperidone does not cause any permanent speech impairment. You would gradually improve on own in a few weeks and with speech therapy.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

It is unusual for adverse effect of risperidone to last for one and a half years. Therefore, you need a detailed evaluation by a neurologist. In addition, an MRI scan of brain is needed to rule out brainstem stroke.
