I assume you mean from this small double blind study that Risperdal was shown to improve anxiety?

As for the prior poster, are you sure it is anxiety and not akathisia, an EPS, a side effect that is the "creepy crawly" feeling of needing to move, personally I would say "straight into a brick wall"?
If you've experienced akathisia before, then I'll assume you know what it feels like. It is definitely not anxiety.

Risperdal I think is pretty strong for GAD -- I would assume that lower potency APs would be used, but I suppose at that level the D2 occupancy level is lower so maybe that doesn't differ in comparisons.
Its all an individual response thing really to APs and their intensity though I have a personal list of what would be descending orders, as I have posted before, and Risperdal is at the top.

-- best wishes
