My wife was prescribed Risperdal 0.25mg/day for anxiety.
To me that seemed like a bad idea - a benzo would have been much safer, but I think her pdoc is a benzophobe.
Anyway, she is now showing signs of TD, twitches of hands and arms, especially when falling asleep.
What are the options at this point? If she stops the Risperdal, she will have horrific anxiety and aggression.
Does she switch to another atypical AD or is her doc going to have to face her fears and RX for a benzo?
P.S. Beta blockers do not work, that was the first thing her pdoc tried.
