> I think you still have some room but around four milligrams or five milligrams Risperdal turns into a straight schizophrenia drug with increased chances of movement disorders and tardive dyskinesia down the line. Risperdal can be taken once at night assuming taking it during the day causes sleepiness.
Thanks to you and Sienna for your answers. I have a question stemming from your answer Thomas: what makes something a straight
schizophrenia drug? I know from their website that it's a schizophrenia drug and when I initially asked for an atypical anti-psychotic and was told about R, I was somewhat
curious why I would be given a drug for schizophrenia when so far as I knew, I'm not schizophrenic. Then when reading the info. on the R website I thought, well, maybe I am.
So, again, what makes R an anti-schizo. at that doseage? Thanks again for your answers.
