Most likely from meds. risperdal is known for tardive dykenisia (bad spelling sorry) and abilify for akathisia.
Immediately call your pdoc and tell them of your symptoms.
this is not ment to scare but the sooner the better you find out, i have heard on this board that some that get the tardive, it never fully goes away (or at least it may take up to a year or so to completely dissapate.)
**I AM NOT A DOCTOR nor do i pretend to know this stuff, just reporting what i have heard so please. Best advice is to not panic and just call pdoc asap and let them know what's going on with you and mention your concerns of tardive.
because maybe it is from some other biological issue now coming to the surface???
Best wishes to you.AND PLEASE any of you chemical people correct me if i'm even a little wrong. i Hate to give out bad or scare info.
