so I've been on Risperdal .25 for about two weeks now but started out at only 1/4 for about 3 to 4 days before increasing each time. So totally on the full dose of .25 probably about two weeks now. I was feeling super good too but then started having a lot of body tension stuff like my muscles are so tense that I could not relax them. About the same time though I was lowering the dose of a beta blocker to see if that was causing the problems instead because it was also a new dose of the beta blocker for me too. I didn't think to try one at a time so now I don't know which caused which. I only know that I am having a lot of rebound anxiety from the beta blocker and it is raising my blood pressure a lot so may have to just go back on that till next Dr. visit.
How ever my biggest concern is what is causing all the body tension for about two weeks now that not even my valium has helped one single bit! It was starting about 1 to 2 hours in the morning after the beta blocker so that is why I thought it was from that.
So last night I did not take Risperdal and today I felt so much better with the body tension which really feels like I tightening up every single muscle in my body when in fact I am not doing anything to them but they are doing it on its own dispite my greatest effort to make it stop!
now I'm worried that maybe I got that Tardive thing or something else from the Risperdal and it wont ever go away or does it? Please help to settle my fears I'm scared to death.
Today was a horrible day off the ripserdal, how can it stop working so well in just one lousy day? I'm right back to ripping off peoples head, cant stand myself..
