Does anyone here have a success story with quitting AP?

Postby CursedByApathy » Sat May 20, 2017 5:40 pm

So had been taking Risperidone for 5 months a dose of 1.5 mg. Right now Im super scared because yesterday my middle finger started to twitch and I am afraid its tardive dyskinesia. The twitching stopped but Im anxious. I have decide to stop taking Risperidone cold turkey method. Does anyone have success story with quitting this drug or any other AP? I need encouragement right now because I feel stressed.

How long did it took you to feel normal after quitting? Do you think I will have some lasting changes after using this drug? Do you think I have developed tardive dyskinesia?

Did your doctor prescribe Risperidone for OCD? I don't think I have ever heard of it. I took it for BP2. I was on it for a few months but came of it because I found it wasn't for me. I didn't have many adverse effects coming off it.
