Side Effects Due To Risperidal Injection?

Hello everyone. I recently moved up from 37.5 mg Risperidal injection to 50 mg Risperidal injection. I’m worried about the following side effects: weight gain, sexual dysfunction and muscle stiffness.

I’ve been on the new injection for a couple days now and I am already experiencing muscle stiffness. My psychiatrist gave me pills to take in the event that muscle stiffness takes place. My question is, will that side effect ever go away or will I always experience muscle stiffness on 50 mg? What about the other side effects?

Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:
