Yes. I've been on stacks of meds over the years, but I'm pretty sure risperdol was an anti psychotic which will naturally have a sedative effect. So the anaesthetic will need to be adjusted to account for this. When you check in you will fill out a form which will include current medications. Also it will probably ask if you have had a nauseous reaction to conventional anaesthetics. I always say yes, and then I get the morphine. This is a much better way to lose consciousness.

Generally prior to surgery all your oral medications will be halted for 8 hours. In fact everything by mouth will be halted for the same period of time, to prevent vomiting during surgery (a freaking disaster).

That's why anesthesiologists get the big $$$$$$$. When you go in for pre-op be sure to tell them. They will tell you what to do. Good luck.
