I know resperidone is used to treat schizophrenia and bi- polar disorders. If Mis-used, what will happen?
Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking again and providing detail.
If a person take Risperidone by mistake then one can see side effects like sedation, dizziness, brain fog etc. In high doses there will be rapid heartbeats, low blood pressure, sedation, drowsiness, rarely coma. Extrapyramidal side effects as akathesia, restlessness, tremors, parkinsonian side effects, dystonias etc can be seen in high doses or in toxic range. Dystonia (sudden contractions of a muscle group) in respiratory system or in laryngeal area may result in fatal outcome.
Over all risperidone is a safe drug and even 20-40 mg doses usually don't result in fatalities. However to avoid undue illeffects it is advisable to take the drug only under medical supervision.
Thanks, hope this helps you. Ask again for more doubts.
