I just had a chat with Dr. Scott Wylie, a psychologist with expertise on psychopharmacology and health/medical psychology issues and topics. He's on PsychCentral.
I asked him about my tremors. He agrees with my pdoc that it's not the Risperdal that's causing the tremors because it is a very low dose. He thinks it's the high doses of SSRI that are causing them. He told me that SSRIs can cause EPS. He suggested trying non SSRIs like Effexor or Remeron. I don't know what Remeron is.
I'm going to ask my pdoc about this on Tues.
Oh yeah, he also said it's a very bad idea to stop my meds cold turkey.
