My Son Has Been Taking Risperidone Because He Has Schizophrenia

My son has been taking Risperidone because he has schizophrenia (diagnosed at age 18. He is now 24). I am concerned because he is showing side effects (facial grimaces, and trouble with swallowing reflex). But today he is swallowing ok. I have contacted his psychiatrist today but the doctor won't be in the office until tomorrow.
