On it 6 months doc said to stop taking I did and had sx I never had before.  Started taking it again on it 2mg sx subsided.  Reduced to 1 mg per doc no major uptick in sx.  Cut to .50 mg a week ago noticed twitch like movements yesterday.  Holding for a week to see if they subside.  Will they?    Doctor says 6-8 weeks for it to stop.  Should I hold until they do?  I m taking 10 mg  lexapro have for years.  No plans to stop.

 

thanks

What is V? When we last saw you, you were taking risperidone and Lexapro. What exactly are you taking now, with dosages?

 

What are your symptoms?
