tardive stereotypies

Posted by lostforwards on October 23, 2004, at 5:30:28

While taking Risperidal "developed" purposeless movements such as picking at my clothes, crossing one of my legs, and scratching my head.
In addition, under stress I would have difficulty looking people in the eye, and would play with objects.

I now have, after discontinuing the medication, weeks later, I have apathy and anhedonia as well as confusion at times. I go to bed wake up with a dry mouth, and muscle rigidit within 2 or 3 hours.

After going back on just one dose of 0.5mg my arms stopped swinging.

Are the movements and odd behaviour due to an underlying condition or are they related to the medication?
