I think I notice a side effect from taking 0.5 mg of Risperdal nightly. At first I didn't think it was a side effect, but a quick Google search showed that it can be a side effect. When I'm going to sleep at night, I notice that I get a slightly stuffy nose. It's not completely closed off, but it is a bit annoying. When I wake up, the stuffy nose is gone. Anyone else experience this?
Also, I was just wondering...is it possible for the effects of the Risperdal to wear off as the day progresses? I've just noticed a little craziness in myself around midnight.
Other than that, things seem OK. I got to class and I can concentrate. I remember being unable to concentrate last semester in the winter. Right now I must concentrate on good study habits and not freaking out.

Hi
Yes, anti-psychotic can dry out your sinuses ... at least they do for me. I used a saline nasal spray and it helped.You are on a small dosage so it's possible for the effects to wear off quickly. When I was on it I had bad edema from it.
I'm glad it's helping you. :-)

I used a saline nasal spray and it helped.Hmmm...I'm unsure whether or not it was a real side effect as I didn't have a stuffy nose last night. I'm noticing something else now, when I go outside the sun seems really really bright to me. I'm wondering if the Risperdal is dilating my pupils or something or if it's just my imagination. Is it possible?

Actually I think I read that as side-effect. I wasn't on it long enough to notice. It could be that the meds are just clearing you head a little so you are noticing things more (sound, light etc.)
