In reply to Experiences on Risperdal... Im afraid of TD, posted by Tepiaca on November 22, 2005, at 21:04:17
Hey there.
Are you sure that your muscle twitches were caused by taking AP's as opposed to some other reason?
I'm just wondering because I think that TD tends to develop in people... Usually people who are taking the older style AP's (rather than the newer ones) and who were taking really very heavy dosages (which they tend not to prescribe anymore) over very long periods of time.
So I guess... I'm thinking it would be unusual for you to have TD from taking a newer one at a lower dosage over a lesser period of time...
That being said... I have known people to get muscle twitches on the newer style AP's and a low dosage of cogentin seems to sort that out for them.
Can you talk to your doc about your fear?
