Risperidone help

Hi everyone, anyone, whoever is reading this. I need some help or any tips you can provide on how long it takes for Risperidone to get full benefits. My mother is 43f and has been in a psychosis/ some form of schizo since August of last year . She’s been refusing treatment for months and insist her delusions are real. I wanna say since maybe April 23-25 ? She’s officially been taking Risperidone 4MG every night. It seemed like it was helping till earlier this week. She said the delusion had gotten lower and were more manageable like she could watch tv and stuff but now she said it’s back to the same intensity. She was just bumped up to 5mg but I’m wondering how long before the e delusions get a little quieter for her. Obviously not looking for a cure but for her to live a normal life. I will say she has a lot of PTSD, paranoia and some OCD. I tell her that anxiety and stress will only flare up the situation. I’m a little lost on what to do next as I just wanna live a normal life now
