Antipsychotic medications including Resperidone are prescribed after detailed evaluation & should be continued under supervision of a doctor. It is one of the drugs used to treat Psychosis. I believe your mother is continuing this medicine under regular medical supervision. As she is 72 years old now, she also requires regular check up to rule out other physical illnesses along with mental status evaluation from time to time. The coma like state may be because of some underlying physical illnesses or may be a side effect of Resperidone. A common side of this medicine is Extra Pyramidal Syndrome (EPS), where the patient may get rigidity or stiffness of the body, muscle contraction & spasm, slow movements, tremors, irregular jerky movements of the body, at times restlessness. To find out the cause of this state get your mother evaluated by a doctor, and get her treated accordingly.
