I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Long term use of risperidone in your case could have worsened your Parkinson's symptoms as parkinsonism is a possible side effect. Fortunately it was interrupted in time before that was noticed. You shouldn't worry about other residual side effects now that the drug was interrupted, it won't cause any long lasting issues.
I hope to have been of help.
