Can smoking interfere with risperdal? Should I quit smoking?
That’s an interesting question because I smoked when I was on risperdal and there was a reaction that might have been due to it. I also felt oral fatigue and overate.
Can it keep it from taking my delusions away cuz I am taking it and still getting it
You used “it” 4 times and I don’t know which you are referring to, the med or the smoking. Do you need your delusions. Why do you fear them being taken away?
The smoking from letting the risperdal from working
It might. It’s always a good idea to quit smoking. I did, 3 1/2 years ago.
I smoke an e cigarette and was concerned it would effect risperidone. My psychiatrist says smoking decreases risperidone. I came across studies online that say nicotine doesn’t effect it, something else in tobacco does though. Quitting would raise blood levels according to my doctor.

The chemicals in cigarettes affect all types of medications, not only APs. Isolated nicotine has no effect on meds.
