Risperdal - twitching down under

Hi

For years I took Risperdal to help my sleeping. Not for schizophrenia but to assist my sleep and anxiety including panic attacks.

I took a minute dose. It worked like a charm. As far as I could tell there were no side effects and I slept like a baby.

Then it started, a very slight twitching in my left leg that eventually would be noticeable if I was lying down on the couch with the leg semi-bent.

It had not got to the point that I couldn't walk but ...man oh man was it irritating! Went to see the pdoc, took me of it and replaced it with something else. The twitch took three months to completely dissapear, I'm lucky I suppose because once there I believe it can stay, even if off the medicines-incredible!

So if you're twitching down under and you're on Risperdal, see your doctor.
