They work in the same practice, the one that took me off risperdal is my current one's boss so all med decisions go through her, I would hope she would have said something.
I haven't tried latuda. Same thing though, I'd have to get samples bc my insurance wouldn't cover.
Thank for your input, I appreciate it. |
Could be a dose thing...risperidone is the strongest d2 binder of the atypicals so since a lot of the movement issues are Parkinson's like you may be ok on a lower dose. Still I would be concerned about taking the shot right away because there isn't any way to get it out of your system if things go bad. Stiffness I'm not sure about... the Parkinson's effects are like walking like an old man, tremor that kind of thing. Also it may be different because it's injected....stiffness yeah I'm not sure...I do know if you have like spasms that pretty severe. It's also possible he can give you a drug to counteract the stiffness. Some people use cogentin for side effects....
