My doc has me taking 1mg of Risperdal at bedtime in addition to Ambien CR to put me to sleep. He also wants me to take it because he says that it makes the OCD meds work better. I started having muscle spasms in my head, neck, and legs. In addition to that, my left arm and leg started to hurt really bad one day, and I was so weak that I couldn't get up when I was laying down. I went to the ER because I thought I was having a stroke, but I wasn't. I thought it might be the Risperdal, so I stopped taking it, and ....

VOILA! The symptoms stoppped completely. I started taking it again and the symptoms reappeared. Anyone else have this problem? I have made an appointment with my psych. doc, but it isn' until September 14. What should I do??

Thanks for your help.
