Hello, Gem! How are you and how is your friend?

Yes, Risperidone is an antipsychotic and such an overdose could be fatal. Your friend should seek medical attention.

Symptoms of overdose may possibly include severe drowsiness, severe dizziness, shallow breathing and lowered heart rate, as listed by the FDA.
