I'm taking 0.5mg and did get muscle twiches. This went away after a while. Risperdal in considered very safe under 5mg/day. I don't think TD should bother you on such low a dose. Weight gain does occur.
If you are really concerned, try Zyprexa: more weight gain, nearly no TD.
Seroquel causes no weight gain/loss or TD. You might give it a try.
