Have you discussed the things that you are experiencing with the doctor who prescribed Risperdal?

It could be that they are short-term effects of your brief use of Risperdal which will resolve with time.

Also, what you are experiencing does not necessarily reflect damage to your basal ganglia.

Your prescribing doctor should be able to discuss these things with you and (depending) suggest further investigations/options.

All the best.
