From my experience risperidone is a pretty sedating drug...dizziness, drowsiness and tiredness are common side effects. When I first took it (only 1mg!) it knocked me out for 12 hours...I never continued with risperidone (I was switched to aripiprazole because I couldn't tolerate risperidone), but then everyone reacts differently...please talk to her doctor if the side effects do not wear off after 4-6 weeks, and please remember never stop taking the medication without medical advice.
