Risperdal is also known as risperidone. This is the drug which is specially invented for the diseases which are related to the psychological problems like schizophrenia (a very well known disease) and some other psychotic diseases. If the doctor finds any positive symptoms regarding schizophrenia then he really prescribes this medicine because it is really helps to manage these symptoms.
The positive symptoms may be auditory and visual hallucinations, though disturbances and delusions. Risperdal is the medication which not only helps in resolving the problems related to schizophrenia but also other negative symptoms which can cause psychotic problems like apathy, social withdrawal, inability to experience pleasure and lack of motivation. This is the medicine which is highly preferable by the doctors due to its positive results.
If you compare Risperdal with other antipsychotic medications then it is far better than those drugs. Though those drugs like Prolixin, Stelazine and Haldol are also used to treat the psychotic problems for several years but they are best for the positive systems but they do not give the satisfactory results in the case of the negative symptoms. These drugs also cause the intolerable and uncomfortable side effects. On the other hand if we talk about Risperdal then it is better for both kinds of symptoms either positive or negative. As far as the side effects are concerned then it cause some side effects but they are just extrapyramidal like muscle rigidity, tremor and restlessness.
If we talk about the affects of this medicine on the schizophrenia then the medication recommended for three to four weeks. And during the usage of the dose the improvement is noticed which is quick and very much effective. But the recommended dose can differ for the different patients so four to six months are given as trail period.
