Risperidone therapy may cause incontinence (urine and fecal accidents).
This case study describes two children with autism who were treated with risperidone and then had incontinence. The first child was a 12-year-old boy who was at first given risperidone at 1 mg per day and then increased to 2 mg per day. The second was a 16-year-old boy who was started on 1 mg of risperidone per day and increased to 1.5 mg of risperidone per day. Two other drugs have also been shown to cause double incontinence (clozapine and olanzapine). The incontinence stopped once the boys were taken off of risperidone.
