Does cranberry juice have any affect on people who take risperidol or medications?

Cranberry juice is said to be a big detox drink.

I haven't drunk it for years, but I'm wondering, does it affect a person's mindset/behavior if that personally normally takes anti-schizophrenic medication like risperidal?

I run a mental health group home. I have had many residents who take risperdal (and many many other psych meds). Typically, Grapefruit is the major "no-no" with psych meds. Residents in my house drink cranberry juice in moderation (8-12 oz daily) with no side effects.
