Making a person unable to feel any emotion is next to impossible. That what makes us human, though I understand it takes a great deal of control to keep our emotions at bay.

As for the drug, if it's prescribed to you, it would be best to ask the prescribing doctor to explain the benefits of taking the drug & the possible side effects. Risperidone can be used in cases of bipolar (in children) & schizophrenia. Studies show that Risperidone may facilitate patients' ability to accurately perceive emotion. Good luck!
