Scott - ASH is "A Safe Haven" in egroups. It is moderated by Greg. It's a chatty place where we blow off steam.
As for your meds; if you would react like everyone else does to medication, we wouldn't have this problem, now would we ;^)
Arthralgia (joint pain), hypokinesia (which can be accompanied by a slight paralysis), and fatigue are side effects of Risperdal. Maybe EPS, but doesn't sound like it. Could the difficulty walking be due to vision problems (trouble with accomadation) or is it muscular? These are really all just shots in the dark. I don't know what that reaction was.
A rechallenge of Risperdal in the future (if necessary) is probably a good option. A lower dose (0.25mg to 0.5mg) does work in many people. It might be worth a shot.
Hope you can get something from this. - Cam
