It is not clear what you mean. Risperdal is not a disease and is a medicine given for mental illness. Please ask clearly.

Dear lybrate user,
There is no difference in their mechanism of action. Sizodon is absorbed in the stomach and intestines before getting into blood stream whereas sizodon MD dissolves in the mouth itself and works the same way as sizodon does, if it is put in the mouth. Nothing to worry. Both are same.

Dear sir, I am very sorry to hear about your dilemma. Sizodon syrup is a antipsychotic medication. It is approved for treating hyperactivity, irritability, self-injurious behaviour in autism spectrum disorder. As with any other medication, sizodon also has side effects, most commonly weight gain and sedation. The decision of whether or not to continue with risperidone therapy depends on the benefits you are experiencing vs the side effects if any.
Hope this adrresses your concern.

Hello Lybrate-User,
It is nice of you to think about your brother's behaviour. He may be suffering from a psychosis with no insight into his condition. In such psychosis, the person does not want medicines. Treating him without his consent, can be discussed with the psychiatrist. There are many ways to get him into treatment. There are dispersible tablets, liquids and long acting injectables of risperidone available.

The psychiatrist has suggested correctly about the medication. Low dose sizodon (risperidone) is used for children with autism and behavioral problems. Try to get hold of a mot pediatrics (pediatric occupational therapist) and a team of psychiatrist/ clinical psychologist/ ot and speech therapist for multimodal treatment of autism. Good luck.

Your uncle if diagnosed as Bipolar affective disorder need to take mood stabilizer for long term for proper control.There are many covert medication available like syrup valproate,syrup risperidone(sizodone) for non cooperative patients but best way is to contact nearby psychiatrist and if patient is reluctant plan for a home visit.That will be the best for patient.

Dear lybrate-user,
bipolar disorder needs to be treated with mood stabilisers. Doubt alone cannot be a psychotic symptom unless it is fixed and irrational. Please consult your psychiatrist again before giving sizodon tablets. Risperidone (sizodon) is available as drops and dispersible tablets. This is for your information.
