Alcohol and risperdal?

I'm going to a Super Bowl party and I know within will be alcohol there. However I hold risperdal for symptoms of schizophrenia. I hear that with some medicine it's not safe to drink alcohol and bear your medication. Does anyone know what can happen if I drink alcohol and run risperdal?


Answers:    From Janssen's website: "The most common adverse reaction observed in adjectives clinical trials with RISPERDAL occurring at a rate of at tiniest 10% were somnolence, increased appetite, fatigue, rhinitis, upper respiratory tract infection, vomiting, coughing, urinary incontinence, increased saliva, constipation, frenzy, tremors, muscle stiffness, abdominal pain, anxiety, nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, impetuous, restlessness, and indigestion."

"RISPERDAL may affect your driving ability; as a consequence, do not drive or operate machinery before conversation to your healthcare professional.

RISPERDAL may affect alertness and motor skills; use caution until the effect of RISPERDAL is known"

"Avoid alcohol while taking RISPERDAL."

My counsel: Drinking alcohol while on Risperdal will increase the risk and severity of side effects. The actual amount or severity will depend on the amount of alcohol and other factors and will ebb and flow by indivudual. I would recommend against it.

Of course, if you are thinking of skipping your Risperdal in demand to have a couple of beers than I influence DO NOT SKIP YOUR MEDS.... go ahead and enjoy 1 or 2 beers over the course of the game....but hold someone else drive you home!

Reality check people..... like mad of answers will be "don't do it" but if you find yourself in a spot on situation, pick the lesser of two evils!
not a right idea
