Hi,

Though, injection Risperidone may cause immediate side effects of light headedness, dizziness, fainting and palpitation, which are self relieving and go itself in some time, maximum being 24 hours. The symptoms or side effects of injection Risperidone can not last for such a long period of 6 years or so.

Also, your symptoms do not fit into any typical neurological deficit to describe your condition. By all means, your problem is psychological, which need a consultation with a psychiatrist. Your symptoms are a complex of anxiety, depression, illusion, delusion, hallucinations and conflicts. Hence in my opinion, you should see a psychiatrist for further definitive diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
