I think of all the APs (atypical or older) risperdal caused the most problems with akathesia for me. Of course i was taking 4mg/day but that was for psychosis. I will never take an AP unless I am psychotic- which means of course I have to accept my pdoc's word that I am. For now, it has been zyprexa at 5mg bid, and only until my symptoms subside. My pdoc has had a significant number of patients on APs that had a very difficult time with withdrawal. since you are on such a low dose, hopefully you won't have any problems. take care, judy
