I had what is called a dystonic reaction to respirdal when my dose was increased to 5 mg. It usually doesn't happen unless you go over 6. These are called somethin' like: extra-pyramidal side effects of antipsychotics. The tension I had in my jaw was nearly unbearable ... my legs also bacame so rigid that I twisted an ankle when trying to walk. Apparently you are sensitive to these antipsychotic medications so you should talk to your doctor and perhaps spread the dosage out through the day rather than taking it all at once.
