Hi lybrate-user, I can understand your concern. Sizodon, does have an impact on cognitive abilities. You can discuss your concerns with the treating psychiatrist and do try to meet a clinical psychologist, who will guide and advise you on how to work on yourself to deal with your symptoms. Also, ways to improve your attention and retain your memory well. Thanks.

All anti-psychotic medications can potentially cause some memory problems or cognitive decline in long term. But the effects of sizodon (risperidone) for your condition far outweigh the side-effect profile in most cases, and thus it is best to continue with the medication as per your psychiatrist's advice. You can always discuss any concerns or possible adverse effects with your prescribing doctor and he/she will guide you best. Hope this helps!
