Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Taking Risperidone, Rolling Eyes After Increase In Dosage. Side Effect Or Allergy?
My son recently started risperidone, originally on 0.5mg with no problems-then after approximately a week on the 1mg dosage-he started rolling his eyes. No other symptoms. Could this be a side effect of the medication, or do you think this is just an allergy. He says he is aware that he is doing it, but I don't think he is aware of how often he is. Watching him, he does it several times per minute.
Hello: Nystagmus (Eye movements - uncontrollable) has been reported among people who take Risperdal, as well as other antypshychotic medications. If the dose has been increased recently, it is possible that he need a dose re-adjustment, and you should consult the prescribing physician as soon as possible to re-evaluate this situation.
