Inclusion

  • Have a supine (after 5 minutes rest) blood pressure between 100 and 140 mmHg systolic, inclusive, and 50 and 90 mmHg diastolic, inclusive
  • Healthy on the basis of a prestudy physical examination, medical history, 12-lead ECG, and the laboratory results of serum chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis performed within 21 days before the first dose. If the results of the serum chemistry, hematology, or urinalysis testing are not within the laboratory's reference ranges, the volunteer can be included only if the investigator judges that the deviations are not clinically significant. For renal function tests, the values must be within the normal laboratory reference ranges

Exclusion

  • Known drug allergy to risperidone, paliperidone, or any of its excipients
  • Known history of drug-induced dystonia
  • Recent history of alcohol or substance abuse
  • Relevant history or presence of any cardiovascular (including myocardial infarct or cardiac arrhythmia), respiratory, neurologic (including seizures), psychiatric, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal (including surgeries, severe gastrointestinal narrowing, and malabsorption problems), endocrine, hematologic, or immunologic disease
  • History of any cancer, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma
  • At screening, has signs of autonomic dysfunction as indicated by a sustained decrease of \> 20 mmHg in systolic blood pressure or a decrease of \>10 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure after standing for at least 2 minutes that is not associated with an increase of \>15 beats per minute (bpm) in heart rate
  • Bradycardia (heart rate \<50 bpm) as determined by screening 12-lead ECG
  • A positive test result (or history of) for any of the serology tests (hepatitis B and C, and human immunodeficiency virus) at screening
  • History of smoking or use of nicotine-containing substances within the last 2 months, as determined by medical history and/or volunteer's verbal report. Volunteers must agree to refrain from use throughout the study
