Will I have another stroke?

I had mild strokes (often called migraines, a term I like to avoid, as it is common misconception that they are headaches when in reality, they are a form of stroke that can be life threatening also, including risking disability) from ages 10-13. Unsure if coincidence, but these strokes occured nearly every month, affecting my vision and speech, to the point I couldn't even write and got minor paralysis in my right arm. At the same time I was taking daily doses of Risperdal. I'm wondering if this will ever happen again because I am terrified. Young people like me should not be having to fear having another stroke every day.

    Thank you..I have aspirations in my life and I can't afford to lose any more cognitive ability. It's gave me ADHD symptoms too, when I don't even have ADHD. I can no longer concentrate or learn as quickly as I used to.

    I didn't know what the medication was, my parents said I needed it (severe anxiety/depression) I didn't know it was affiliated with strokes and I'm asking if it caused them. Because I would like to know if there's a possibility they could come back.

    You should follow up with a neurologist and Risperdal can't cause strokes
    Mellaril is more likely to cause that and You had to have hair line bleeds that caused or lead to your mini strokes

    I was just highlighting the possbility if my strokes are spontaneous or if they were drug-induced. I used to drink a lot of caffeine products.

    Caffeine can cause serious problems if consumed in large amounts too
