> I would agree with it being the Risperidal. I had a horrible reaction to just .5 mg. of Risperidal. I developed slurred speech, confusion, unsteadiness, forgetting what I was saying, stiff and sore muscles, jerking, and other symptoms.
Wow, all that from just 0.50 mg? I didn't know it could be that powerful.
> Once off the Risperidal, the symptoms began to resolve with the jerking taking a couple of weeks to three weeks to reslove. What has your psychiatrist said about your symptoms???

> KarenI haven't told my pdoc about my symptoms. We don't usually talk about meds during my sessions (we do therapy) so I always forget to mention it to her. I always attributed the tremor to anxiety, but now I'm not so sure anymore. I have an appointment with her on the 26th. I've started the process of tapering down the Risperdal. I think she would be okay with my decision. She doesn't seem to think the Risperdal is as important as the Celexa and Wellbutrin.
