Have you ever heard of Tardive Dyskinesia? It is a permanent side effect from the use of Neuroleptics such as Respirdal. My 5 year old daughter has this drug induced syndrome. Do yourself a favor and research the serious side effects of neuroleptics and the damage that they can do to your brain. Any and all neuroleptics can and do cause Tardive Dyskinesia (TD). TD is a movement disorder and this may be why your are having the feelings that you are at the present time. The longer you take any one given neuroleptic the more chance you have of developing TD. www.breggin.com or any internet search engine would be of value to you to check out these and the many other side effects that come along with the use of neuroleptics. Don't let your doctor give you some BS about this stuff. It is real and it does happen. A book that might be of interest to you is a book by DR. Breggin and it is called Your Drug May Be Your Problem. Hope this helps. Don't stop taking any medication until you have talked it over with your doctor. You can't just stop taking this stuff. You must be weaned off of it so your system does not go into mayem. Good Luck!
