I was on low doses of Risperdal for a little over 2 months. I keep a journal to help me track what new happens when I change meds. Last week I started having trouble swallowing, had sever muscle stiffness, and tremors so that I couldn't hold a pen to write. I experienced moderate to severe headaches daily. The worst effect was confusion. In a short period of time I would have to write everything down, lost my sense of direction, screwed up my banking system, and had trouble remembering what day of the week it was. I would have to refer to a calendar repeatedly to stay on the correct day.
