Why does Risperdal make you feel like you are floating or flying?

Risperdal, an antipsychotic medication, can cause sensations of floating or flying as a side effect, often due to its impact on neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly dopamine and serotonin. These alterations can lead to changes in perception and mood, contributing to feelings of disassociation or euphoria in some individuals. Additionally, the drug may induce sedation or relaxation, which can further enhance such sensations. Always consult a healthcare professional for advice regarding any unusual side effects of medications.
