I don't know if it is available in Canada or not. It's supposed to be a replacement for Zyprexa with fewer side effects including the TD problem. He is hopeful that it will be better than Zyprexa. You may want to ask your father's doc about it.

Risperidone is safe and effective at dosages under 6mg/day. Above this level you run a greater risk aquiring movement disorders. Good luck, again - Cam W.
