I took risperdal at 21 for 3 months with ssris and it messed up my hormones even after discontinuing it...I don't know if that is your primary concern but make sure his hormones are in check while taking risperdal/invega or switch to another drug if possible...Risperdal heavily targets the pituitory which is the master hormone gland and can screw up hypothalamus/pituitory functioning which also probably increases risk for other health problems...And also try to minimize risk of TD with a large dose of vitamin E daily perhaps talk to a psychiatrist about this or nutritionist...I don't want to cause a panic but risperdal in my experience is extremely powerful and when combined with SSRIs it creates a synnergic effect in its potency as read from the official risperdal/invega documentation which can cause a lot more problems at least in my experience it has which I am currently trying to address a year and a half off the drug...
