oh, wow..I didn't know about the propranolol+nardil interaction. I was just throwing that out there because when I had neuroleptic-induced akathisia, that's what I was given.
Anyway, I'm not a doc, so I have no way of knowing what the problem is, but Risperdal is kind of rough. I mean, yes, its atypical or whatever, but it often causes EPS and I seem to recall reading that TD is more of a problem with Risperdal than, say, Zyprexa. Then again, you're on a tiny dose. But it sounds like even this dose is screwing with your body.
Sorry about your situation. I seem to recall reading that high doses of B6 help acute neuroleptic akathisia, but I don't know if that's the best idea while on Nardil (clueless about MAOIs here).
Good luck.
