That's why I hate antipsychotics. There's a load more side effects with risperidone than sedation, and your pdoc knows it too. I don't like that kind of dishonesty in doctors. As far as cognitive impairment goes, Solian is probably the 'cleanest' of all antispychotics. Actually at low doses it doesn't really act like an antipsychotic at all - it almost has the opposite effect. I was on 200mg in hospital, and lately I've been taking 50mg as required when I need a mood boost, but I haven't noticed much cognitive impairment from it. I doubt 100mg would be doing a great deal for psychosis, so could you either lower the dose or come off it?
