The parkinsonian seems like it wanes in an out. A better term is muscular rigidity. It's not just the parkinsonian. I devloped tics and mannerisms that all seemed like tardive stereotypies while on the medication. I know that these are uncommon side-effects but I did develop them. I didn't know before hand they were going to develop or how they would present. In fact I knew nothing about TD sterotypies or anything like it.
I also started gurgling and cheeck puffing. I still do the cheeck puffing thing sometimes. It was never a mannerism of mine before. It is a tardive dyskinesia symptom.
For a while these symptoms disappeared on a realatively high ( for me ) dose of Risperdal.
When I withdrew from the medication the motor tics
and a tugging feelings in my arms appeared again. They felt like they wanted to move in to different positions. Again, I did not know about this before. All of these could be supressed somewhat.On top of that I've been having sporadic dystonia, and dyskinesia.
Ahhh, who am I kidding. You'll probably just not believe me and write it all off as something else.
This is sick you know. I hate that doctor and anyone like him.
