RISPERDAL risperidone Because mania wrecks lives Risperidone has been used in the treatment of mania in combination with mood stabilizers, even though risperidone has also been reported to cause mania. Two new cases of risperidone-induced mania have been reported in a 23-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman, who developed acute mania with euphoria, psychomotor agitation, and hypersexuality. Neither patient experienced manic symptoms before treatment with risperidone. Some risperidone-induced mania cases were seen with low-to-moderate doses (2-4 mg/day) of risperidone; other cases with higher doses (6-9 mg/day). Güzelcan Y; de Haan L; Scholte W F.
