My pdoc doesn't think it's the Risperdal because it is such a low dose. She thinks it's the combination of meds that is causing the tremors. I haven't made a big deal out of the tremors in the past because they didn't bother me too much. I just sort of grew used to them.
I don't know what to do tonight. Should I take my meds as prescribed? What should I do? I see my pdoc on Tues.
