I sympathize with your distress.
My daughter too, saw faces in the dark, and complained of a constant headache.
Her Dr prescribed Haldol and Paxil. Sorry, I am not familiar with Resperdal.
Speak with a pharmacist or a Dr.
Headaches are a common side effect.
Seeing faces, however is not. Hallucinations have been reported, but it is not a common side effect.
This is not normal, and this medication is probably not right for your daughter. Talk to your doctor ASAP.
