wemble Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 quick question: 2mg of risperdal and mild facial twitches/spasms (i feel them, but you'd probably only notice them if i pointed it out) primarily on the right side. something i should worry about? what does this warrant, if anything? thanks!

Cetkat Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Yeah, you should call your pdoc and tell him/her about it as soon as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemble Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 figured... emergency line worthy? should i wait til the morning since that's when my next dose is anyways? it's late already... thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cetkat Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 You can wait until morning - or even Monday. It's not going to kill you or anything.. it's just something you don't want to leave left alone for any long period of time. The sooner the better.

wemble Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 called and he said it doesn't sound like any of the bad movement disorders from AAPs, so to keep taking meds and take benadryl or vistaril for 24hrs to see if that helps since he thinks it might be anxiety related (i dunno, maybe, i was a bit keyed up today) and that he'd check up on me tomorrow. blegh. i hate calling for no real reason.

It is a real reason. He knows your case better than I do, so he has a more compressive perspective - that's all. You didn't really need to call tonight, but it does warrant a call nonetheless. It's much better to be safe than sorry. His reasoning is good, rule out other things before thinking of changing anything - but he does want you to check in, that's something. Movement disorders are progressive and a bad thing. Him knowing that there may be a problem is important.. even if it turns out to be nothing.

Cetkat Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I do the same thing. I worry about making mistakes and then can't stop thinking about them when I do. It sucks. You're welcome.. I'm really glad I could help. You did nothing stupid at all. Take my word for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
