Alzheimer's with psychotropics and potential TIA stroke?

Any experiences with Alzheimer's with psychotropics, specifically resperidone for agitation and potential stroke? My dad is prescribed 1 mg with PRN lorazepam (.5mg). This week I noticed left side of face, top lip is lower and nostril appears collapsed. His eye brow raises so it seems faint. Maybe only a side effect of meds? Haven't had opportunity to talk to his NP, I noticed it yesterday afternoon and today is the same.

This would be worth making a call or getting into the patient portal.
I probably would not wait since this is a long weekend.
