How does Risperdal work?
Risperdal works by interfering with the communication among nerves in the brain. By releasing chemicals known as neurotransmitters the nerves are able to communicate with one another. Neurotransmitters attach to receptors of neighboring nerves, causing changes in the cells that have receptors. The use of Risperdal allows several receptors on nerves to be blocked so that communication among nerves does not occur.
