I told pdoc about the weird stiff, jerky movements I feel when walking down the stairs and she tells me it is dystonia from the Risperdal, even though I'm taking a small dose.
I also have a bad intentional tremor sometimes. Does this mean there is something wrong with my cerebellum?
I also get regular tremors from just doing things with my hands. It is made 100 times worse by caffeine. Pdoc ordered me to stop drinking all caffeine, do progressive muscle relaxation several times a day, get 8 hours of sleep a night and do some exercise everyday, even if it is just a 15 min walk. She might replace the Risperdal with something else.
Anyways, is it possible to get dystonia on even 0.75mg Risperdal? It's such a tiny dose! Is it possible something is happening that is causing the Risperdal levels in my body to be actually higher than it is supposed to be?
