No No, it was more a side-effect. It was clear it wasn't going to be permanent. It stopped at once the drug was lowered.

That's terrible. i'm sorry to be discouraging, and i could of course be wrong, but if just a few days of risperidone caused that i wouldn't be at all surprised if the Zyprexa could do the same thing.

I really think it will be fine - for instance I have been on Thioridazine - for 4 weeks - NO Eps at all. I was on Zyprexa before actually, but only near 2 weeks - NO EPS. I was on Navane for a short time, once again no probs. I just think he highered the dose too soon, and maybe it wasn't suited to me.

It was a situation where someone instantly starts on a high dose of any drug - it's bound to cause bad effects. The doc just went too fast, IMO. Another doc told me, Risperidone does have EPS problems - more than what is commonly thought.

Let us know what you think!

Ace.

PS- I know Parnate failed for you. Sorry to hear this dude- going to try Nardil?

Sorry. But hopefully i'm wrong. Good luck.
