I've just read your other post about stereotypies and am concerned about the advice I just gave. Perhaps it would be better to stay away from APs for a while because medication-induced movement disorders can sometimes be permanent. You seem to be very sensitive to the side effects of risperdal even at 0.5mg a day. Antimuscarinic drugs can relieve parkinsonism but are unlikely to help stereotypies, in fact they might make them worse.
